Bachelor Roast - posted by Lil Aussie

1 medium roast (any size, even the cheap, tough cuts)
1 can coca-cola
1 16 oz. bottle of ketchup (generic, or whatever is on sale)

Put all ingredients in crockpot and cook it for several hours until the meat falls apart and your house smells great! The coke will break down the tough fibers in the meat, so even the toughest comes out tender and tasty. This recipe is good enough to serve to the best company, and leftovers (if you have any) make good BBQ sandwiches.

Slowcooker shanks - posted by Michelle71
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp tomato paste 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp chilli paste (optional) 4 new "trim lamb" shanks, sometimes called Frenched lamb shanks 3 sprigs thyme 3 tbsp white wine 1½ cups beef stock 4 roma tomatoes, cut into small pieces 2 cloves garlic, crushed salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tbsp chopped parsley or chopped coriander leaves

METHOD
· In a small bowl, mix half the oil with the tomato paste, cumin and chilli paste. Brush or rub the meat with this paste.
· On the stove top, heat the remaining oil in a large pan and brown the meat for a few minutes. Add the thyme, wine, stock, tomato and garlic, and season with a little salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to your slowcooker. Allow to simmer for 8-10 hours on low, or 4-6 hours on high, until the mixture falls away from the bone. Do not lift the lid during cooking.
· Just before serving, stir in the chopped parsley and serve with mashed potato and a green salad. (Alternatively, sprinkle with home-made gremolata before serving.)

Enjoy

P.S. Cornflour works great to thicken runny sauces. Just make sure it *cooks* by boiling it after adding.
