Lamb shanks are really easy to cook, and just about foolproof, providing a succulent dish every time.  Slow-cooked and braised, they will fall off the bone and be fork tender and the marrow in the bone will add rich juices to the sauce.  Whether you use wine, beer, or something else with herbs and root vegetables, you'll be sure to have a dish you want to go back to again and again.  Sold by the pound
