I know lamb shanks is traditionally in a lovely rich wine sauce, but I fancied a change one day and wanted to use up some of my curry paste and decided to mix the two together. These shanks are tender and packed with flavour.

4 lamb shanks (approx. 1.2g)
1 red onion, finely chopped
4 tbsp curry paste (see page XXX)
1 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
1 lime, zest and juice
300ml lamb or bone stock
Small handful of fresh coriander
· Preheat your slow cooker, following your manufacturer’s instructions.
· Brown off the lamb shanks by placing in your sauté setting or placing in your sauté pan and browning on a medium heat for 2-3 minutes before transferring into your slow cooker. I don’t always bother with this as my family don’t notice any difference!
· Place the lamb shanks in your slow cooker and add all the remaining ingredients apart from the coriander.
· Cook on low for 8-10 hours until the lamb is cooked and starting to come away from the bone. 30 minutes before serving add the chopped coriander.
· Remove the lamb shanks from the slow cooker and place to one side, covered in foil to stay warm. You can then strain the sauce using a sieve. If you want to thicken it, place in a saucepan and heat until it starts to reduce/thicken. If you like a creamier sauce, you can add a few tbsp of coconut cream.
· Serve the lamb shanks topped with some of the sauce. Finish with a garnish of coriander leaves. Serve with some cauliflower rice and keto flat breads.
