Add the stock and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Add the rosemary, savory, and salt and pepper to taste.

Cover the roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil and place it in the oven. Bake until the lamb is tender, 1 to 1½ hours.

Serve the Lamb Shanks with the Wild Mushroom sauce and accompanied by rice.
