"This is an old Woman's Weekly recipe which I made this years ago, and my DH did enjoy these shanks. I must make them again over next winter. Served with mashed potato and vegetables would make for a wonderful winter meal. I always make my own bouquet garni ~ It is a bundle of fresh herbs, usually consisting of ~ bay leaf, sprig of thyme and parsley leaves & stalks, tied together with kitchen string. Remove the bundle at the end of cooking and discard."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan.
Step 2
Toss lamb shanks in flour that has been seasoned with salt and pepper; shaking away excess flour. Cook lamb over a high heat until browned all over then transfer shanks to the bowl of a slow cooker.
Step 3
Add the remaining oil to the same pan with the onions, carrots and garlic & cook; stirring the vegetables over medium heat for about 3 minutes or until the onion is just starting to soften then add the tomato paste & cook, still stirring for a further minute.
Step 4
Add the wine to the pan & bring mix to the boil, stir in the beef stock, then the undrained tomatoes, sugar and the bouquet garni. Bring to the boil & pour over the lamb in the slow cooker, making sure the lamb is covered by the liquid.
Step 5
Cover & cook for 6-8 hours on the low setting or until lamb is soft and just falling off the bone.
Step 6
Remove the lamb from the slow cooker and cover to keep warm. Turn the cooker to the high setting; cook, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Remove any fat from the surface and serve the lamb shanks with the sauce over the top.
