ITALIAN LAMB SHANKS (ZWT II)
Betty Crocker - 1 of life's little historical cooking pleasures we seem to have left behind now that the internet is but a keystroke away. I laid down to take a nap w/a 20 yr-old BC paperback in hand & went sound asleep. I awoke still holding the book & the pgs were turned to this recipe. Seemed like a ZWT II sign to me & I confess to updating a bit to better reflect modern cooking methods. Not a modern recipe for lamb, but I was having a nostalgic moment (Time to marinate is not included).
