This is for a stove type pressure cooker. It makes tender, juicy lamb shanks. For a thicker gravy, mix 2 tablespoons of plain flour with 1 ½ tablespoons of water to form a paste. After removing the lamb shanks, stir this paste into the remaining sauce. This is great served with polenta or mashed potatoes.
