Oven Cooking Method

To Make Crumble

1

Turn the slow cooker on to low to pre-warm while preparing the ingredients.

2

Mix together the soup powder and stock, stirring until the soup powder has completely dissolved - a whisk is ideal.

3

If wishing to brown the lamb: Heat a dash of oil in a frying-pan and, when hot, brown the shanks well.

4

Put the lamb, onions and carrots into the pre-warmed cooker.

5

Pour over the beef stock mixture and scatter over the rosemary.

6

Season well with pepper and cover with the lid.

7

Cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 4–5 hours, or until the meat is meltingly tender and falling off the bone.

8

Serve with plenty of mashed potato and seasonal vegetables.
