Braised Lamb Shanks

This recipe is ideal as most people have all the ingredients in their store cupboards. It is nutritious, very tasty and a wonderful winter warmer. When buying a leg of lamb, get the butcher to chop off the shank for you and freeze it until you have one or two and then make up the dish. Remember to add the onion and garlic, which is not mentioned in the ingredients.
