    In a separate bowl, add crushed garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire, red wine, water and crushed stock cubes. Stir until all ingredients are combined.

  5. 5

    Now place cooked lamb shanks on top of vegetables then pour sauce over the top. Season with salt and pepper and stir in thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Turn slow cooker onto high and cook for 6 hours or low for 8-10 hours.
