I scaled this back for 4 lamb shanks though mine were about 500 grams each (just over a pound) and I allowed 2 1/4 hour to cook in the oven at 160C fan forced and the meat was just fall of the bone. The main concern for us especially with the dish being served with a rigatoni pasta is that the sauce was not thick enough it was rather watery but the flavour were great and having the crusty bread on the side certainly helped. Thank you lazyme made for Beverage Anyone tag game on FF&FF.
