Slow-cooked lamb shanks are meltingly tender and roasted to perfection
Hubby had reason to visit his old ‘playground’ the other day and popped in to see a friend who owns a butcher where he got (among other) some lovely lamb shanks. It was a pleasure cooking them because we don’t get them in this size at my local supermarkets. Enjoy!
