FD HELP NEEDED ASAP PLEASE

[itati]

I am doing lamb shanks for our dinner and it says cover withstock to cook. I don't want to use stock, do I have too or what else can I use? I have put some red onions and carrots under the meat.

Red wine?

FOOD not blooming FD

Ooo, I have some merlot. Would that be criminal to cook with? Sounds delish.

I would say red wine too.

Sounds great , was once told you shouldn't cook with anything you wouldn't be prepared to drink!

Okay. Merlot it is. How much?

How much stock did it say to use?

It doesn't

helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

Would probably put a fair amount in there unless you are cooking them in a slow cooker.

Damn, didn't think of the slow cooker. They are in the oven and I have put about a glass full. Not enough?

Maybe a little more? Keep an eye on it and top up if neccessary I reckon.

Thanks.

Hope Dh isn't too dispoointed there won't be a full bottle to drink.

Just checked and poured more on. I would need 2-3 bottles to completely cover them.

You could add water too - doesn't need to be 100% vino . Got any bay leaves to flavour it up a bit?

Will add water if needed next time. No bay leaves, not something I have bought since DS1 was 1.

Thanks for all your help.

It was delicious.
