Ingredients:
4 lamb shanks (or knuckles, as they're sometimes called)
1 pkt of powdered Onion Soup mix (we use the Maggi one, but Pams is just as good)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp Paprika
Method:
1. Put the lamb shanks into a crock pot/slow cooker.
2. Mix the brown sugar, Paprika and soup mix together and sprinkle over the top.
3. Switch the crock pot/slow cooker onto "Low" for 8-9 hours.
That's it!
We serve with fresh veges and mashed potatoes, but you can serve them with whatever you like. You don't have to add any water or liquid of any sort as the lamb will cook in it's own juices - and believe me on this, it is YUM! The meat literally FALLS off the bone - nothing beats it :) I prepare it before I head off to work in the morning (it takes but a minute, after all) and then, when I walk in the door after work, it's all done! I just need to cook the spuds and throw on some veges - hey presto, instant yummy!
Remember - keep it to yourselves...As to what else I've been up to, well I've been waiting for the webhost to fix my site as I couldn't add any new pics (hence, no new items) until today, so have been updating the website tonight.
And watching the first episode of "Fringe" here on TV in NZ. Really enjoyed it - very "X Files", I have to say, which is not altogether a bad thing. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses. The only thing that puts me off is that TVNZ, in their infinite wisdom, managed to stretch a (probably) one hour show into 1hr 45mins with seemingly ENDLESS ad breaks...I kid you not, we had an ad break at 10pm and another at 10.05pm! And so it went on...bloody annoying and totally unneccesary. Stuff like that peeves me off no end.
We also had some great news at the end of last week - Karnivool's second CD "Sound Awake" (that I talked about here) went GOLD! Yahoo! Well done guys! Very exciting!
Willie and I have just finished watching series 2 of classic kiwi drama/comedy "Outrageous Fortune". Absolutely brilliant! We're now awaiting delivery of the series 3 DVD's...very impatiently.
And in honour of Outrageous Fortune, here's the theme song - the classic "Gutter Black" by iconic kiwi band Hello Sailor:
Enjoy! And - if you decide to give the lamb shanks recipe a bash, let me know what you think of it!
