I think its almost time to get lamb shanks going again *drool*

my lamb shanks recipe:

4 lamb shanks
1 can tomatos
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup red wine
1 carrot diced
1 celery diced
1 potato diced
3 sprigs rosemary
2 cloves garlic

I chuck it all in 8 hours low. No more prep than chopping.... When we are almost ready to eat, I make a polenta mash & put that on the plate with a shank, than I use a potato masher & mash the stuff left in the slow cooker. Often there is a lot of fat, so sometimes I pull the shanks out & put them into a hot oven which is turned off and then mash the rest & cool it. I skim fat off the top until I get tired, warm it all up again & then put the shanks on the polenta mash, and pour the sauce over the top.
