Crock Pot Lamb Shanks image

Modified version of a recipe I found on the 'net that I thought turned out great. Apart from a few small changes to seasoning the original recipe called for a cup of wine rather than beer, sometimes I feel with tomato that makes things a bit rich when slow-cooked and I thought the beer substitution worked well. If you don't want to use beer try a cup of beef stock instead of the stock powder / beer. Also whole garlic cooked this way doesn't taste strong at all, if you want it to have a strong garlic taste you'd need to crush some of it.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 kg lamb shank (4 medium shanks)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 medium brown onions, sliced
12 garlic cloves, peeled
200 g mushrooms, coarsely sliced
1 cup beer
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons beef stock powder
400 g crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf, broken into quarters

Steps:

  • Heat oil in pan over medium to high heat and brown lamb shanks on all sides.
  • Season lamb shanks with pepper.
  • Place sliced onions at bottom of crock pot and put lamb shanks on top drizzled with remaining oil and juices from the pan.
  • Place mushrooms and garlic cloves over the top.
  • Mix beer, Worcestershire sauce, stock powder, tomatoes, oregano, basil, thyme and bay leaf in a bowl.
  • Pour mixture over the top of lamb shanks.
  • Cook in crock pot on low for 6-8 hours depending on your crock pot.

  • Serve with vegetables and juices poured over the top of the shanks. I served over wholegrain bread but mashed potatoes would be the best match.
