Lamb, Beautiful Lamb!

Slow Cooking

I know, I know; slow cooking is generally associated with cold, wet and windy evenings in winter, where all you want to eat is beautiful hot meals that warm you up from the inside. I've never really been into slow cooking; I like dishes with a lot of preparation and detail. I like it when I can see the food I cook taking on its final form before my eyes.

There is definitely something to be said for slow cooked meals, though, as they require reasonably little preparation, and while they are cooking you can go and seek out a nice spot in front of the heater, or a window with some sun shining through, and have a cup of tea and maybe read a good book. They also require the less expensive cuts of meat, such as gravy beef, chuck steak, osso bucco, and my favourite, lamb shanks.

Despite the lovely weather Melbourne has been having intermittently over the last couple of weeks, the next few days are predicted to be cool and rainy: the perfect time, I thought, to try my hand at a slow cooked dish.
