Hi. I added the thread about Lamb Shank when i looked back it had gone. Thankyou for answering I cant wait for you Replys. Mary

Mary. Thanks for getting back to us. I really have to go now. But will add my reply first thing in the morning. Much too tired now. Jenny.

Here goes again - am assuming you mean what I call a leg of lamb - if so, slit the skin of the lamb in several places and tuck in a piece of rosemary in each slit and roast in usual way. Sometimes I do the same thing but use garlic instead of rosemary. Ann

same as ann,but i add garlic in some slots,and onion in other. bryan.

I think Mary means to thinner lower part of the leg. Another good recipe is to sprinkle a packet of onion soup mix over the leg, wrap it in foil and let it cook on a low heat for about 5 hours. Crista

Brown the lamb shank in a frying pan with a little oil, then put to one side. Keep it warm. Then fry a chopped onion and two cloves of crushed garlic in the same oil til golden brown, then stir in a little flour. Make up about half a litre of chicken stock and pour into the pan and stir. Then add a large glass of red wine, a sprig of rosemary, a sprig of thyme and a bay leaf. Put the lamb shank into a casserole and pour the contents of the pan over it. Cover the casserole and cook on the middle shelf of the oven at gas mark 3 for at least two and a half hours Regards Sean

Thankyou all very much for the lovely ideas you have given me.WE had it as a pub lunch last year with roast spuds very nice.Im spoilt for choice now but will try them in turn. Thankyou. Mary

Lamb done in the slow cooker is fantastic.Put it in as it is for about 5 hours on high.It'll be wonderfully tender.I use the slow cooker a lot ,I cook most things in it. Wendy
