Lamb Shanks in the Slow Cooker

[christen]

I want to cook lamb shanks in my slow cooker. Do i need to brown the shanks before putting them into the slow cooker?

Thanks in advance!

nope - just use some yummy marinade if you want - to make them tastier:D

Thank you so much! i have been putting off cooking them because i wasnt sure!

i don't have a slow cooker but i do mine in my electric frypan at a very low temperature and cook them slowly. they do brown up a little in there and they taste so scrummy, especially when the meat is so tender it just falls off.

mmmmm lamb shanks, I might have to pop out and by some.

I've heard they come up a treat in the slow cooker

Nope I don't.

Just mix up a packet of french onion soup mix with about 700ml water, a bit of tomato sauce and a dash of worcestershire sauce and yummo! (have it over mash).

Hey when you say 'a packet' of french onion soup mix, do you mean one that makes up to a litre normally? :detective:

(Sorry off topic... :o Lamb shanks sound good!!! :D)
