Lamb dishes of all kinds are very typical for the Andalusian cuisine. In Almería you can still find an astonishing number of lamb and goat shepherds and you always get top quality. Especially if you choose the tender “cordero lechal”, the suckling lamb.
A very popular way of preparing lamb in Andalusia is chuletillas de cordero de la brasa, grilled lamb chops. Another recipe that is undoubtedly one of the best is a cordero al horno – lamb from the oven, either the lamb’s leg or shoulder.
But today’s recipe is braised lamb shanks, which is just one of my favourites on a bit cooler days 🙂

The lamb shanks are superb to prepare for many guests. A Polenta is not good when pre-cooked, but if your mis-en-place is good, which means everything weighed and at hand, it is prepared in the blink of an eye.
The braised lamb shanks are best served with a Roble from the D.O. Ribera del Duero. My favourite is the GallinitaCiega from Bodega Arrocal.
