Method

Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the flour.

Lightly dredge the lamb shanks in the flour and set aside.

Tie the rosemary and thyme together in a bunch with some string and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large pan on a medium to high heat.

Add the lamb shanks to the pan and cook each side for 4-5 minutes until sealed and browned.

Place the lamb shanks in the slow cooker and put the pan back on the heat.

Add the onions to the pan and cook until golden brown.

Add the onions to the slow cooker, along with the carrot, garlic and herbs.

Add the stock, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker.

Season with salt and pepper.

Cook on high for 4 hours / low for 8 hours until the meat is tender.

Meanwhile, place the potatoes and swede in a saucepan, add cold water to just cover the potatoes and a pinch of salt.

Turn the heat on high and bring the water to the boil.

Cook for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

Drain the vegetables and place back in the saucepan.

Add the milk and butter to the pan and mash until desired consistency.

Add more milk or butter if the mixture is a little dry.

Season to taste.

To increase the resistant starch content of the potato, allow the mash to fully cool and then reheat ahead of serving.

Serve the lamb shanks on top of the mashed potato.

Garnish with finely chopped parsley.
