Lamb Shanks DIVINE!!!!
What a wonderful recipe, and we had the perfect weather for it today, a cloudy windy day with rain showers. It was a great day to spend in the kitchen, sip wine and anticipate this meal. I agree with Jeanne about the rissoto. I also happen to like it and could have eaten this particular version of it as a meal in itself, but it is an easy recipe that I will probably make again. We usually serve mashed potatoes with these,and when I make this again I will go with potatoes. Jeanne, Dale and I will be thinking of you as we are eating our lunch this week, as we plan to eat the leftover rice as well. We also served a Pinot with this, one from Oregon, and it was delicious. We also roasted some squash, which was sweet and in keeping with the season. Unfortunately, I have no pictures as Greg has "misplaced" his battery charger. Best Buy anyone? I have to admit that I was very skeptical about this dessert upon reading the recipe. Carmel topping? But I was very pleasantly surprised with the results, I think that with the tart apples and lemon juice, the flavors balanced very well and it was not as sweet as I anticipated it would be. A plus... it was very easy to prepare. I substituted currents for the raisins, which I like better for cooking.

I agree with you and Jeanne about the risotto. I think it worked for us because,in deference to Bob, I didn't add the cheese. We had some leftover rice and sauce, so we cooked some lamb chops during the week and enjoyed that lovely flavor all over again.
I'm really jealous of you with all those lambkins being born on the farm...an unending supply of these tender young things...yum! Our three little lamb shanks cost 18 Euros, so this is definitely a special occasion meal for us. In typical British fashion, Andrew at the leftover shank with mint sauce last night while I added some steamed baby spinach to the risotto and it was great!
