Just made a lovely hotpot with lamb shanks

[KatyMac]

It was really nice - I made it on Friday & heated it up today

I think I'll put more mint in next time & although we cleared 2 lamb shanks today I think I will use one next time & put more veggies in. It was definitely a success putting sweet potatoe as well as potatoes on top.

But all in all it was very very nice

Just felt I had to share

That's nice!

Did you say you had only 2 shanks for the 3 of you and next time you'll use one? We have one each!

But one would have been loads

Protein is only about a quarter of a meal?

We are big eaters! It is 1/4 of our meal!

Maybe my lamb shanks were particularly large?

ABout 2/3rds the size of a half leg of lamb (which does us 2 meals)

Sounds about the same at mine tbh! We do rather like lots of food in this house! None of us are overweight btw, we obviously just have big appetites! But no matter, lamb shank hot pot is lovely!

3 lamb shanks for 2 adults + 6 and 1 year old here.

Goodness I just had leftovers and there is a second plate in the fridge......we must have very small appetites

Mind you the Le creuset was absolutely full

i very meanly eked out 1 shank between 2 adults, 6 and 2 yr old the other day , but i see it as mostly beans and veg and use the meat in the kind of quantities i'd use bacon.

Well I got 8 adult servings out of 2

DD is 11 & eats more than I do........& I'm not a small eater
