Method:

3. Add the remaining oil to the frying pan and fry the onion gently until it starts to turn translucent, then stir in the tomato purée and flour and cook for a minute.
4. Add the red wine to the pan and bring it to a boil, stirring the flour, purée, onions and the wine together until you have a smooth sauce. Tip into the slow cooker.
5. Pour the stock into the same pan and bring it to a boil, then tip into the slow cooker. Add the carrots garlic, bay leaves, thyme and parsley stalks to the slow cooker and put the lid on. Cook on low for eight hours or on high for four hours. Turn the shanks over half way through cooking.
6. After eight hours the lamb should be tender and starting to fall off the bone. If the sauce is too watery, lift out the lamb shanks, separate the liquid from the vegetables using a colander. Put remaining liquid into a pan and boil it rapidly to reduce it down.
Serve over creamy mash…. Delicious!
