It was very tasty and juice. Cooked in a tray in the oven at 160 C for 3 hours. Juices turned into char but lamb was very nice

Amazing, only recipe I've ever rated. Better than high quality restaurant food. Entire family loved it and the gravy was to die for. I put small potatoes in the crock pot as well.

I made this w/ pork chops, was busy around the house and forgot many of the ingredients (thyme, bay leaf, tomato paste, mustard), and this still turned out fantastic. I added new potatoes and fresh mushrooms & served it with split, crusty bakery rolls to soak up the juices. Really excellent!

First time slow cooker user, absolutely delicious, used 5 large lamb shanks and whole can Guiness, was worried might need thickening but it didn't, used kitchen roll to soak up some of the fat when cooked, turned it off after 9 hours on high as meat falling of bone, will definately be making this again. Served with garlic mashed potato gratin and veg...........scrumptious !!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks :)
