Slow Cooked Lamb Shanks (Boost)

Lamb shanks are just meant to be thrown in the slow cooker. The longer and slower the cook, the more you’re just waiting around for the meat to turn into a soft, juicy texture. It doesn’t suddenly overcook and turn to gristle, so it’s very difficult to stuff up. And if you pop it into a slow cooker, you can just set the cooker on and get on with other things.

Serves 4 hungry people
