Braised Lamb Shank Ragu
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.)
