Crockpot Braised Lamb Shanks (Osso Bucco) with Tomato Sauce
 with Tomato Sauce "Pin It")
Cooking Steps
1. Place frozen lamb, tomatoes (spices optionally), onion, carrots, garlic, salt, and pepper into the crock pot on low for 8 hours (overnight or all day). If you use fresh/defrosted lamb, it will probably cook in 4-6 hours.
2. The dish is done when the meat is falling off of the bone.
Variations:
*You may also braise the lamb in a dutch oven pot like this one at around 250 degrees for 6+ hours.
*Try this dish with beef instead of lamb.
