gfrancieI bought some lamb shanks yesterday. I had no idea what I was going to do with them but it seemed like fun could be had.
I first let them sit in red wine overnight (in the fridge) which tenderized them. Once I did that I have been letting them slowly cook in red wine along with an onion, some garlic, a couple of carrots and some thyme, white pepper, salt and a bit of rosemary. I think it will taste good. I will take the red wine (and lamb fat) and I think I will make a red wine/shallot reduction and pour that over the lamb. We will have that with some leeks. I will either saute the leeks or steam them and make a hollandaise sauce. I may make a potato mash. (something with cheese?) It will all be served with some bread I bought today. Dessert? Still not quite sure. Maybe a chocolate pudding.... Or some kind of pie. So many possibilities.
