For an even richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste to the vegetables while sautéing. If the sauce becomes too thick during the final reduction, add a splash of water or broth to adjust the consistency. Serve with creamy polenta, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Lamb shanks can be braised a day ahead. Cool completely, then refrigerate. Reheat gently before serving.
