Slow cooked lamb shanks

My mum is awesome. As you know from the previous post, we've just welcomed our daughter, Ava, to the family. Mum has been lending a hand to help us get used to the bigger family. A couple of days ago she turned up to visit and ended up cooking us dinner.

Mum cooked us lamb shanks in her slow cooker. Yes, she brought her own slow cooker to our home.

Anyway, this isn't a post about how awesome my mum is. Let's talk about Paleo-style lamb shanks.

Without even thinking about it mum cooked a Paleo meal. It's that easy.

Here are the ingredients:

• 4 lamb shanks
• chopped mushrooms (about two cups)
• a tin of tomatoes
• chopped onions (two)
• water (a cup or so)

Here's the method:

• whack everything in the slow cooker and wait 6-8 hours.

Nothing could be easier. It took about 10 minutes to prepare.

Lamb shanks aren't the cheapest cut of meat but any fatty cut will do; try chicken thigh or gravy steak.
