Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, marinate the lamb shanks in the spice mixture overnight before cooking.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can remove the lamb shanks from the pot once cooked and reduce the sauce on the stovetop.
• Feel free to customize the dried fruits and vegetables based on your preference. Apricots, prunes, carrots, and potatoes work well in this dish.
