Help! Lamb Shanks--leeks? fennel?

Posted by BananaMonkey, November 21, 2009

Hi Eaters,

I just returned from the farmer's market. I have two lovely lamb shanks I'm planning on cooking tomorrow. I've never made it myself before.

I have carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, leeks, and fennel. I've never cooked with fennel before either, and don't know if it works with lamb.

I am guessing a good long slow braise is the way to go with the shanks, but I am looking for some suggestions with flavour profiles. Any suggestions (including ditch the fennel) are welcome.

What's your favorite lamb shank method/recipe?

Thanks Eaters!
