    Afternoon,

    I am having a small gathering at my place and need a fantastic recipe for my slow cooked lamb shanks. Can you please advise a tried and true recipe?

    I will be puting them in the slow cooker (after sealing them) for 7 hours.

    thanks

    I was looking at that one but as you know unless you have made it before you cant realy tell :-/

    So did you alter the recipe at all or followed it to a T?

    I've not got a recipe per se but I love anchovies, orange and oregano in anything slow cooked with lamb in it.

    I do one that is based around a red wine sauce with lots of beans. Something in that direction perhaps?

    Another option is leek and white wine.

    Season with salt, slow roast in the hooded BBQ. They don't get any better than that.
