Ingredients

  • 2 lamb shanks
  • 1 large Spanish onion chopped
  • 1 bag baby carrots or peel and chop one pound carrots
  • 1 pound small red potatoes quartered
  • 1/2 teaspoon gaam masala
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Pinch pepper
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Instructions

  • Heat oil in heavy frying pan and brown the lamb shanks on all sides. Add them and all the other ingredients to a slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 6.
  • If you have time, toast the almonds first - place in hot DRY pan and stir until they start to brown and take them out immediately.
  • If you're really short on time, don't brown the lamb shanks. It'll still be delicious.
