How to make Braised Lamb Shanks:
Lightly moisten the lamb shanks with water. In a large bowl or plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, and pepper and dredge the meat.
In a large heavy‐based frying pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the lamb shanks and cook on all sides until browned, about 10 minutes.
Transfer to a deep, ovenproof casserole dish.
Add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the frying pan andcook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to absorb the pan juices. Combine the vegetables and pan juices with the lamb.
Add the Guinness, and beef stock, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.
Add the potatoes, correct seasonings, recover, and cook until the meat is tender, 1 and a half, to 1 and 3/4 hours.
To serve, place a lamb shank in the middle of a deep dish plate or bowl and spoon vegetables and broth all around the lamb. A perfect St Patricks Day meal!
