Unfortunately I wasn’t feeling  well so missed my deadline. Still, I’d like to get this up before St. Patrick’s Day.  And hopefully if  you’re interested you can scoop up  your  ingredients fairly fast.

The cooking part  will be  dead easy.

Slow Cooker Braised Lamb Shanks

In my  dish I have two shanks, which will actually feed four people easily. You can tear that right off the bone as it is fall apart tender. Plan  to serve that with some mashed potatoes, rice or noodles. Potatoes probably being the most Irish-ish.

There will be  some carrots in there but I always like to have more veggies.  Spring peas are an excellent choice. With pearl onions  if you can put up with the prep. The skins are very thin so they need a  dip in boiling water.
