Ingredients: -
4-5 large mutton or lamb shanks
1 onion, peeled & chopped
1-2 green apples, cored & diced
400 gram can tomatoes, (chopped)
¼ cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 large Tbsp corn flour
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp celery seeds
1 tsp ground black pepper
METHOD: -
Preheat the slow cooker/crock pot, while preparing the ingredients.
Brown the mutton or lamb shanks on all sides in a dash of oil in a hot frying-pan. Transfer to the crock pot/slow cooker. Scatter over the chopped onion and apple.
Mix-together the tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, corn flour, soy sauce, cumin, mustard powder, celery seeds and pepper. Pour over the shanks and cover.
Cook on low heat for 9-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, or until the meat falls from the bones. If using lamb shanks, cooking time will be less.
Serve the shanks with mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes and warm bread rolls.
