De-glaze the frying pan with the red wine and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the volume of liquid reduces by half. Pour the liquid into the slow cooker over the lamb shanks

Add the onion, rosemary, bay leaves and stock to the slow cooker (the liquid should cover the meat – add more stock/boiling water if necessary)
