From our local paper. In the original recipe 3 brown onions (roughly chopped) were used but due to allergy issues they have been omitted and also 2 bunches of baby carrots (trimmed) and 3 parsnips and I have added potatoes.
I love this recipe because I can make it the day before, it uses traditional and easy to grow herbs fresh from the garden and the vegetables are not exotic. Everyone seems to have their own version of this dish, but I think mine is special. I make for Sunday when we have neighbours round for a bottle ( or two) of wine and a casual lunch, so I can cook it slowly the day before and reheat it on the day. Because of slow cooking the vegetables melt and create a wonderful sauce. The meat falls off the bones. Keep it topped up with liquid while slow cooking. A real favourite on a winters day.
This is an adaptation of a lamb shank recipe I found in a magazine. I don’t know the name of the magazine and I have made a few changes. This is great on a cold winters night.
I adapted this from a recipe I found on Life’s Ambrosia (http://www.lifesambrosia.com/2009/04/cajun-chicken-sandwiches-recipe.html) – it is so simple and absolutely delicious. Cooking time is refrigeration time.
