How to Make
-
Step 1: Lightly moisten the lamb shanks with water. In a large bowl or plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, and pepper and dredge the meat in the mixture.

Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the lamb shanks and cook on all sides until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a Dutch oven or flamemproof casserole.

Step 3: Add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet and cookover medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring to scrape up the browned bits of the pan.

Step 4: Pour the vegetables and pan juices onto the lamb. Add the Guinness and stock, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.
-
Step 5: Add the potatoes, correct seasonings, re-cover, and cook until meat is fork tender, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours.
-
Step 6: To serve, place 1 lamb shank in the middle of 6 shallow soup bowls and spoon some vegetables and broth around. Serves 6.
