LAMB SHANKS WITH TOMATO & OLIVES

Lamb Shanks With Tomato & Olives image

A hearty dish guaranteed to hit the spot. My hubby loves this recipe - he would have me make it more often if he had his way! It sounds a lot of shanks but the dish is ideal for 4 people. I usually make this when our best friends come over so the four of us enjoy it with a glass of red. I also find you can serve it with either potato and veggies or risoni tossed in butter. Either way it is great. I found the recipe in the Woman's Weekly magazine, and never looked back!

For the best flavor, choose lamb shanks that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
Browning the lamb shanks before braising them helps to develop their flavor and color.

Add plenty of vegetables to the braising liquid, as this will help to add flavor and depth to the dish.
Use a good quality red wine for the braising liquid, as this will help to tenderize the lamb shanks and add a rich flavor.
Braising the lamb shanks for at least 2 hours, or until they are fall-off-the-bone tender, is essential.
Serve the lamb shanks with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
