Turkish Lamb Shanks

"When my husband and I were first courting, we found we had a lot in common, including a favorite restaurant meal at Paul's in Berkeley, which had closed before we met. Fortunately, I had learned to make the dish myself. Love blossomed, and in 20 years we never tire of Turkish Lamb," writes Pam Peeters. Rice or couscous makes a nice accompaniment.
