Lamb Shanks Milanaise

Found this recipe yesterday in Women's Day Encyclopedia, 1st Edition.

I had two huge lamb shanks; the bones were sawed through towards the joint. Did it in a 7 qt enameled cast iron dutch oven. Choice was a few bubbles or brisk simmer on that burner. Alternated. Took three hours to be really tender starting from microwave-thawed. Used a bit more bottled chopped garlic, and didn't have fresh parsley; so omitted it. I had a half -bottle of oxydized reisling. Flopped the shanks over every hour. Added wine the first hour, bouillon the second. When I added the lemon/garlic, I added some Wondra to thicken instead of beurre manié. Flopped the shanks again before serving. The lemon peel was about a quarter-inch dice. (Dubious about it, but it was really good, not bitter).

Microwaved some hunked red potatoes with a bit of water and some California Blend vegies.

Could be the best lamb shanks I've ever made.
