Just like lasagne is better as leftovers, our Braised Lamb Shanks with Mash and Broccoli is better prepared early, ideally in the morning, to bring out the best of the goodness of the lamb. Perfect for dinner parties, the Shanks can be shared as they will easily fall apart having been slow cooked. Recipe inspired by Australian Lamb.
