This worked out well... although two hours cooking time makes it a it of a wait. I used fresh tomatoes with no issues. I still think it needs a bit more spice in the form of pepper etc... but tomato, lamb and potato cooked in a single pot made for an interesting combination.

I used a fresh tomatoes and a can of chicken broth instead of water. I think a little lower temperature might work better. The shank was slightly overcooked. Overall, this recipe helped me cook my first shank. Thanks!
