Thread: Lamb shanks and linguini

Tried this last nite and was excellent... No pics sorry, next time.

Crockpot, two lamb shanks, one medium onion, 8-10 whole garlic cloves, one can of whole peeled tomatoes ( I used Brook), one good sized carrot-cut to bite size pieces, half a dozen or so dried mushrooms cut in bite size pieces, 1 tblespn dried oregano, 1 tblespn dried Thyme, 1 small can of tomato sauce, 1 cup of beef broth, salt and pepper to taste.

Slice onion and line bottom of crock pot
1 cup of broth ( I used Knorr powder two small teaspoons in hot water)
add lamb shanks, carrots, mushrooms, spices, tomatoes and the juice, salt and pepper

Cook on automatic for 6-8 hours until lamb is done. You can tell when the bone is pretty bare half way along.

Remove shanks

Put remaining stuff in a very large skillet or wide mouthed pan, ad the small can of tomato paste and simmer until your happy with the consistency. Add back the shanks and simmer long enough to insure shanks are warm.

Server over Linguini....

Can also serve with mashed
