Step by Step Method
Step 1
Rub the lamb shanks with mustard and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown shanks in a skillet in 2 tablespoons of the butter until golden (20 - 30 minutes).
Step 2
In another saucepan melt remaining butter (1 1/2 tablespoons) and add the rice; cooking over high heat and stirring constantly until rice is browned and the grains turn white (5 minutes). Stir in the onion, tomato sauce and beef broth and turn heat to low and cook covered for 20 minutes or until the rice absorbs the liquid.
Step 3
Turn the rice mixture into a buttered 2 quart casserole. Pour water over all and arrange the lamb shanks on top of the rice, topping each shank with onion rings. Cover and bake in a 350 degree F oven for 1 hour; remove cover and continue baking for another hours or until lamb shanks are tender.
