shanks a lot (golden balsamic lamb shanks)

Slow cooked golden balsamic shanks

(this recipe was adjusted from bec, and the womens weekly baby food book)

1/4 cup golden syrup

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 cups chicken stock

2 cloves of garlic

4 lamb shanks

1 Tbs cornflour

Add everything to the slow cooker, except the cornflour.

cook on high for 4 hrs, or low for 6-8 hrs.

when ready to serve, remove 3/4 of the liquid and put in a saucepan.

add 2 Tbs hot water to the cornflour to make a paste,

add to the liquid in the saucepan and bring to the boil, simmer for 5 mins or until thickened.

serve with vegies :)

Results: this was yummy and easy. I found i couldnt eat too much of the sauce cos it was quite sweet, i also found that the meat was a little dry as the liquid didnt cover them in the slow cooker, could probably add another cup of stock to increase the liquid.

I ate it with mash, would have been nice with some peas as well, but we were too lazy :P
