The easiest lamb shanks you will ever cook!
Slow Cooked Lamb Shanks
These will be the easiest lamb shanks you ever cook! They are a busy Mum’s best friend, just set and forget!
The sweet potato gives them a rich sweetness that even your pickiest eater will love. Loaded with veggies this is the perfect Winter warmer dinner. I have used my home made tomato pasta sauce in this recipe as I always have some in my freezer, if not you can use store bought passatta or even replace the cup of tomato sauce and cup of water with one tin of crushed tomatoes, whichever you have on hand.
If your lamb shanks looked extra fatty you may want to skim some of the fat off before you serve it. I will be posting the perfect recipe for using up leftovers from this dish so keep an eye out for that!
