Mediterranean Lamb Shanks
Serves: 6

This recipe is prepared in minutes, yet tastes like you spent hours on it. Use an excellent quality sauce, as it is the foundation of the dish.

3 lamb shanks, cracked, ~ 3 #
one 26 oz jar Marinara Sauce, or your favorite pasta sauce
1 c red wine
1 c chicken stock
1 t basil
1 t oregano
½ t salt
¼ t pepper

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Place the lamb shanks in a Dutch oven. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over shanks. Bake, covered, for 2 ½ hours in preheated oven. Basil polenta is an ideal accompaniment, but pasta, rice, or bread works well—as long as you have something with which to soak up the rich, full-bodied sauce.
