From: January, 1995 Food Guide column by Jerry Anne DiVecchio Fit 3 or 4 lamb shanks (about 1 lb per shank) into a deep casserole and sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons aromatic seed mix.
Add ginger, ½ pound of chopped onion, and enough broth to create a 2-inch depth of liquid in the pan.
Seal casserole with a tight lid or foil. Bake shanks in a 400F oven until the meat pulls easily from the bone, at least 2 to 2-½ hours.
After the first hour, check the broth and add some. Sauce needs to reduce but maintain about ½ inch in the casserole. Check the broth level occasionally.
When done, transfer shanks to a shallow casserole and return to oven to brown (without liquid) while you make the sauce. Skim and discard fat from juices. Boil juices in a frving pan over high heat until reduced to about 1 cup. Thicken, if you like, with cornstarch diluted with a little water.
Serve sauce over shanks, adding salt to taste.
