Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place lamb shank pieces, the onion, tomato and unpeeled garlic in a roasting pan and bake, turning once, for 45 minutes. Transfer meat, bones and vegetables to a 4-quart pot. Leave as much fat as possible in the pan and discard. Add parsley, bay leaves, 1 sprig rosemary and wine to pot. Add enough water, 2 cups or more, just to cover ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to very low and simmer, about 3 hours, until liquid is reduced to less than 2 cups.

Bring liquid to a simmer and cook until reduced to a scant cup, about 20 minutes. Season with salt. Set aside.

LAMB CHOPS WITH ROSEMARY AND PORT WINE SAUCE
I don't remember where I found this recipe, but I have been preparing it for years and never follow a recipe. All measurements are approximate. I generally serve this with a white and wild rice mix, or couscous. It also goes well with hot buttered noodles.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200°F.

- Heat a heavy skillet and heat olive oil and butter until the butter stops foaming. Add the rosemary leaves and the lamb chops to the hot pan.
- Pan sear the chops over high heat to brown on both sides, approximately 3 minutes per side. Remove the chops to an ovenproof dish, cover loosely with foil and place in the preheated oven for 5 to 10 minutes to keep warm.

Steps:
- Sprinkle a heavy frying pan with salt; brown the chops on both sides and put them in a casserole.
- Wipe out the skillet with a paper napkin or towel; put in the oil and heat.
- Add the onions and green pepper.
- Brown lightly; then add tomatoes and seasonings.
- Stir the mixture well; simmer for a few minutes and then pour it over the lamb chops.
- Bake tightly covered for an hour in a preheated 350F oven.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops. Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of fat. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Marinate the lamb chops before cooking. This will help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, or you can try a more complex marinade that includes wine, vinegar, or yogurt.
- Cook the lamb chops over medium-high heat. This will help create a nice sear on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside tender and juicy. You can cook the chops in a skillet, on a grill, or in a roasting pan.
- Let the lamb chops rest before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful. Let the chops rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Creole lamb chops with port wine demi is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The lamb chops are tender and juicy, and the port wine demi is rich and flavorful.
