ROSEMARY BRAISED LAMB SHANKS
Lamb shanks are slowly simmered with fresh rosemary, garlic, tomatoes, and red wine. Great served with polenta, or my family's favorite--roasted garlic mashed potatoes--as you need something to soak up the wonderful sauce. A fantastic dish for company, as all the prep work is done at the beginning, and then you just have to wait.

BRAISED LAMB SHANKS WITH CARAMELIZED VEGETABLES
Here is another lamb shank recipe, I absolutely love lamb shanks, I just don't seem to be able to buy them often here in Switzerland. This one tastes wonderful and just falls off the bone, it does not have too many ingredients but they all come together so well. I served it over mash and with roasted honeyed vegetables. I will list the recipe for the vegetables below I usually make this with parsnips, turnips and carrots but I could not get a hold of any, so I just made it with carrots and sweet potatoes instead, so use whatever vegetables you like.
