Slow-cooked Lamb Shanks
On friday night, C and I had our valentine's meal, and because he loves lamb i though i would do shanks - plus they're cheap!
After lots of recipe book reading (what a chore!) I decided on the one from Jamie Oliver's Naked Chef. This turned out to be a very good choice as the Lamb was outstanding!
The meat was 'fall off the bone' tender and the tomatoey sauce lent a subtle fruitiness which set off the lamby flavour beautifully.
After i bought the shanks i looked up their points valur in my little book and nearly passed out - 18 points!! On second inspection it turned out that the shanks i had bought were much lighter and more like 12 points. Therefore i chnaged my plan of serving them with creamy garlic mash and did myself some roasted butternut squash (free). I still did a big pile of mash for C, of course!

Wow. They looks yummy.
Shame you havent put your recipe up yet though....
Bet they'd go good with a nice bottle of Red Wine, the 2003 Tim Adams Shiraz is meant to be very good, id finnish it off with a nice pudding though.
Some cake might be nice, Ooooh for some cupcakes....
