Minted Lamb Shank Lover Seeks .....

[ferlew]

a nice recipe for slow cooking a half leg of lamb with lamb and rosemary that approximates the above.
Thanks in anticipation.

Tut, MINT and rosemary.

Google 'Kleftiko'

Not quite what I am looking for, but thanks anyway :)

Kleftiko is the food of gods if done properly.
No reason why mint and rosemary couldn't find their way into the mix - it may not be 'authentic' but I'm sure it would be delish.

here, but lamb shanks are double cooked. 1st boiled till tender then flavoured & stewed.

Why not redcurrant jelly?

[ferlew]

Daisy, the flavour I need is mint/rosemary.
Spoiled by Aldi lamb shanks in mint\rosemary.

Night everyone xx

Personally I think it's sacrilege to slow cook a leg of lamb as if it's lamb shanks. Leg of lamb is so expensive and should be served pink. Why not just use lamb shanks for your dish?

Thanks all.

Priced up 2 shanks this aft, £9 +.
Will cook my half leg, £7.
