Instructions
For the lamb:
- Heat 2 tbsps of oil in a large pan over high heat, and once hot, add the lamb shanks and brown the lamb shanks all over until a brown crust develops, about 5-6 minutes. Season lamb with salt and pepper.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and fry the onions and garlic until softened. In a separate bowl, whisk together the red wine or cranberry juice with the flour until well combined. Add in the tomato paste and whisk.
- Add the chicken stock to the onions and mix, then add the flour/wine mixture and while stirring continuously, bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and let sauce simmer for 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened.
- In slow cooker (or a pan that'll go in the oven) add the lamb shanks, the onion and sauce mixture and the rosemary. If using a slow cooker, cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or until meat easily comes off the bone when you test with a fork. If cooking in the oven, cook at 160 C (325 F) for around 2 hours or meat comes off the bone easily.
For the vegetables:
- Heat oven to 200 C (400F). Arrange vegetables in a roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper and any herbs of your choice. Roast 20 minutes, then toss with a spatula so they cook evenly and return to oven for another 20 minutes or so or until tender and cooked through.
Notes
- You can easily make these in the oven instead of a slower cooker. Just roast in the oven at 160 C (325F) for 2 hours or until lamb easily falls off the bone when tested with a fork.
