Slow Cooked Lamb Shanks

Created by ImPat on April 20, 2024

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon plain flour
2 lamb shanks, about 1 kilogram for the 2 and prefer rear leg as they are meatier
1/2 brown onion, chopped

Step 1: Season flour with salt and pepper, then coat lamb in flour, shaking off excess and add to pan and cook until browned.
Step 2: Remove from pan and transfer to bowl of the slow cooker.
Step 3: To the same pan add onion and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Step 4: Increase heat to high and add wine to pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 5: Stir in pasta sauce and bring to a simmer and then pour over the lamb shanks in the slow cooker bowl, cover and cook for 6 to 8 hours on low or 2 to 4 hours on low (time will depend on the size of the lamb shanks and slow cookers do vary in cooking times between brands).
Step 6: I am planning on doing the full recipe but only serve one shank with mash and vegetables and then shred the other to use at a later date over pasta as a second meal, I believe the meat sauce will freeze well.
