Braised lamb shank recipe

What are you going to prepare for Easter? A nice table, children running for eggs, Swiss rabbits and French hens in the garden, Easter here we are! I have cooked these delicious braised lamb shank that will melt in your mouth.

My first real Easter with my daughter! I so want to see her look around to find some chocolate candies.

For this recipe, I went back to Manor. I enjoy to do my grocery shopping there when I get the chance. I love their fish and butcher shops, a lot of choices, fresh products… Everything is so tidy, ordered with pretty colors that I do not really feel like to do shopping but rather to make me happy .

At Easter in general, lamb is served. So I asked their butcher how to prepare these delicious lamb shank and I must tell you that I was largely inspired by his recipe!
