Slow Cooked Mint Lamb Shanks

Lamb Shanks are very popular on pub and restaurant menu’s these days, due to the long slow cooking required they are a dish that can be prepared prior to service and heated to order.

They are so easy to cook they just need low and slow cooking to produce fall off the bone tender meat with an almost gelatinous quality. This recipe was shared with me from my sister in-law and I thought at the time hmm I’m not sure it can be as delicious as stated but I stand corrected it is a very simple recipe that give fantastic results.

Mashed potato is the perfect side to serve with the shanks and maybe a lovely piece of bread to mop up the gravy.
