Braised Lamb Shank Ragu
Shanks for the lamb ragu recipe. You will love this one. It is very versatile and can be served with any comfort food carb you like!
Wait for it...shanks for tuning in!
You will love this recipe. It is set and forget which is the perfect solution for a busy household. It does its thing all day while you get on with your life. We did again use the Greenpan Power Pan but you can certainly use a slow cooker and get the same results.
Then all you have to think about is what delicious carb you will serve it with? This easily fed 6 adults. (With the addition of fettuccine pasta.)
Carb loading ideas:
Cheesy Saged Polenta (my personal favourite for this sort of dish)
Quick and Easy Cauliflower Puree
Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage Brown Butter (without the brown butter bit.)
