Shanks are awesome and they look great.
Now I'm hungry, time to raid the fridge.

May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven

That looks fantastic, any chance of passing on your recipe and cooking method for that dish?

Cheers

Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers.

That looks very good Pete.
Just a little taste would be nice.
One pot meal, it doesn't get any better than that.

Never cooked em.
From what folks are saying here, they are cooked as a stew or braised - rather than baked/roasted like a leg of lamb?

I have a butterfly leg of lamb for Australia Day - will not be cooked in a camp oven. This comes out very well cooked in Cobb Cooker.

Long slow cooking is the order of the day when it comes to shanks - they are quite sinewy. But cooked this way the meat should fall off the bone and is very, very tastey! YUM!

Cooked my first lamb shanks for dinner last night (4).
Used a 9" Billmans in a Fire Pot with charcoal (not charcoal briquettes).
Browned them in olive oil. Then raised the level of the pot as the charcoal was running hot, then added a 750ml bottle of Tooheys Old Black Ale, a cup of red wine (and some for the cook) and some minced garlic. Returned to house and chopped up some carrots, potatoes, onions and celery than added to the pot.
Thickened with plain flour and seasoning at the end.
Total cooking time - three hours.
Was very nice.
