Huey's Ras-El-Hanout Lamb Shanks image

This recipe is from Ian Hewitson. Saw it on television and wanted to keep the recipe. He used 8 small lamb shanks or 4 large lamb shanks. Must be french trimmed. Ras-al-hanout is a spice blend you can get from Middle-eastern shops or gourmet delicatessans. You can substitute morrocan spice blends as well.
