Braised Lamb Shanks Recipe
"Long, slow, braised Lamb Shanks are perfect comfort food, so welcome on a chilly autumn or cold winters day. There are many recipes for Braised Lamb Shanks but this is one of my favourites. The Lamb Shank is cooked very slowly in a good red wine (I emphasise good, never cook with wine you wouldn't drink), which tenderises the meat until, when it is cooked, the meat will quite literally fall from the bone...."
