For an even deeper flavor, marinate the lamb shanks in stout beer overnight before searing. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious braising liquid. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, parsley, and rosemary. A dry stout like Guinness works best in this recipe, but you can also use a porter for a slightly sweeter flavor.
