Lamb Shank Coconut Curry

Serves 4-6 Prep Time 10 hours   Cook Time 6 hours   Rated:

I love to put dinner on in the mornings. Especially in winter. This is such a dish. I do love my slow cooker almost as much as my Thermomix at this time of year. It is so comforting to have the fragrance of something amazing developing throughout the day as you get on with your business!!

If you haven't been introduced to the miracle of slow cooking, then maybe this will get you there. Back in the day, (not sure whose day, but back in THE day) lamb shanks were peasants food and therefore cheap. Not so much anymore, but still this does go a long way. I suggest one shank per serving, but I could not eat a whole one, so it's pretty personal I guess.

Use rice or rice noodles to accompany...I personally prefer noodles with this one. Enjoy.
