I have a couple of really nice meaty lamb shanks in the freezer. Was
thinking about cooking them next weekend. The only way I've ever prepared
them (which is just fine but I'm looking for other ideas) is this: Brown
them in a little oil, remove them from the pan, sauté some onion and garlic
and then deglaze the pan with a little white wine. Add the lamb shanks back
to the pan with some chicken stock, chopped parsley, sliced mushrooms.
Season with salt & pepper and a little dried marjoram and cover and simmer
the shanks over low heat until very tender.

When the shanks are done, I'll be putting the bones (still with plenty of
meat on them) in the freezer for making soup (probably Scotch broth with
barley) later on. As a result, while I like lamb curry just fine, curry
powder doesn't seem to fit in with Scotch broth. But maybe you have a lamb
soup recipe that loves curry and will override my future craving for Scotch
broth

Thanks in advance for recipes.
