INGREDIENTS:
- 4 lamb shanks
- 1 brown onion, diced

- 1 large sprig rosemary, whole (you can use ½-1 tsp. dried rosemary)

- ¼ tsp. black pepper
METHOD:
- Put your slow cooker on low heat to warm it up.
- In a large frying pan, heat the oil on high heat.

- Remove the shanks and put them in the slow cooker, then add onion to frying pan. Cook stirring for 2 minutes and then add the garlic and carrots. Give it all a quick mix to ensure the garlic doesn’t burn.
- Pour the red wine into the pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 1 minute to allow the alcohol to cook out.

- Pour the sauce over the lamb and lay the rosemary in the sauce.
- Cook on low heat for 6 hours or high heat for 4 hours.
- Serve with mash potato and pumpkin or sweet potato.
