Why not if you like leeks and mushrooms? Saute the lamb shanks in oil with
a little onion and garlic thrown in towards the end of browning. Deglaze
the pan with wine (your choice, white or light red, not heavy like port) and
some chicken or vegetable broth. Toss in the leeks (well washed and
chopped) and add sliced shrooms at the end. Season to taste with salt &
pepper. Lift out the shanks and veggies with a slotted spoon and thicken
the sauce with a bit of a cornstarch slurry.
