Braised lamb shanks are a wonderful dish to make if you love slow-cooked meat that's tender and falls off the bone. Lamb is already tender, but the shanks have a lot of connective tissue in them, and slow cooking breaks it down to give you succulent meat with a rich, flavorful liquid that you can then use for making a luscious sauce. To make these braised lamb shanks you'll need a large dutch oven or brazier one that's big enough to accommodate the meat and stock, and safe for both stovetop and oven. Make sure it has a tight-fitting lid, too.
