how do i cook lamb shanks without a oven.

tickle

I absolutely lover lamb shanks. My favourtie part the lamb. But unless you have a barbeque or an outside cooker, you cant do it without an oven. Unless you want to braise them in a good heavy pot on the top of the stove and cook them in canned diced tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper. Throw in some oniion. Until the meat falls off the bone and the liquid reduces. Maybe throw in a bit of red (not to dry) wine, positively optional.

Okay, now I am certainly hungry !

Do you have a slow cooker or crockpot as they are also known??
Well worth investing in one there far from exspensive and its a great way of coming home from work and having a meal ready.
