Lamb shanks.......

[warmsummersday]

I am doing a romantic dinner tomorrow night for OH and myself. I have got 2 huge lamb shanks and I am soaking them in red wine and rosemary. Didn't know what to soak them in so put them in a resealable tesco bag and put about 1/2 bot red wine in which they are sitting in, how much red wine should I use? I am soaking them overnight and putting in slow cooker tomorrow morning.

I think 1/2 bottle is just right for 2 shanks, tho I would perhaps add a little bit of stock when you put it them in the slow cooker so you have more liquid for the sauce. Am dribbling thinking about it!

Thanks. I know, I keep thinking about them!

Sounds fine. What are you cooking them with? I tend to brown them of first then pop in slow cooker with carrots, onions, tin of tomatoes, tin of flaagolet beans, a boquet garni and serve with creamed horseradish mash. One of our favourite meals.

how were they warmsummersday?
