From: January, 1995 Food Guide column by Jerry Anne DiVecchio

Fit 3 or 4 lamb shanks (about 1 lb per shank) into a deep casserole and
sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons aromatic seed mix.

Add ginger, 1/2 pound of chopped onion, and enough broth to create a 2-inch
depth of liquid in the pan.

Seal casserole with a tight lid or foil. Bake shanks in a 400F oven until
the meat pulls easily from the bone, at least 2 to 2-1/2 hours.

After the first hour, check the broth and add some. Sauce needs to reduce
but maintain about 1/2 inch in the casserole. Check the broth level
occasionally.

When done, transfer shanks to a shallow casserole and return to oven to
brown (without liquid) while you make the sauce. Skim and discard fat from
juices. Boil juices in a frving pan over high heat until reduced to about 1
cup. Thicken, if you like, with cornstarch diluted with a little water.
Serve sauce over shanks, adding salt to taste.
