Roasted Lamb Shanks With Red Wine,tomato & Garlic Risotto image

This is a great one dish meal--you basically throw it all in the oven and it cooks itself. Don't be afraid of the amount of liquid used as a lot evaporates & a lot is soaked up by the rice. You can also add some whole fresh tomatoes to roast alongside the lamb if you like.
