show me you recipes for braised lamb shanks

[znfdl]

Does anyone have a good recipe for braised lamb shanks that is not the typical rosemary and wine braise?

I’m a big fan of using a base of canned tomatoes & stock.
Chuck in some chickpeas and spinach, plus a bunch of mint, cumin, & whatever other middle eastern type spices you have handy.
Serve with pilau rice.

For me, lamb shanks get treated to the other side of the mediterranean: tomatos, olives, capers, bacon, garlic, bay leaves. Or substitute saffron and golden raisins for the olives, capers and garlic...

His main weakness is not flambeing with Armagnac. ;)

Oh, yum. That's so much better than Andrew Zimmern's tour of Morocco -- I bet he wishes he could re-do that episode using Wolfert's recipes.
