Lamb Shanks

One of Lou's this one (including the photos). From Marcus Wareing's Perfection. Interesting concept for a cook book - he takes a simple dish and shows several techniques for how to cook to perfection. So...does it work....let's find out.....

Braise your Shank  (ooh err)



The stock gets goings...
