I've got some for tomorrow. You don't need the tagine, a dutch oven will work great. This was my first attempt in the tagine. Go about half the cooking liquid you think is right and check after an hour or so.
Shanks rubbed with garlic, olive oil, sea salt, pepper, parsley and rosemary blended
Gettin a little crowded in my little patch o paridise
Some mirepoix gettin all shoogily
some stuff to keep the lamb out of the braise. Braise is chicken stock red, wine and some Warre's 1985 port.
The little beauties in the tajine
Lamb was amazing!
Edit: Here's another one. I liked the Irish ale better than the port/stock/wine combo. Still had too much liquid but I'm gonna fix that tomorrow.Lamb rubbed with blended rosemary, roasted garlic, thyme, parsley, olive oil and lemon zest
Seared in the tajine base
Grilled the seared ones while searing the rest
Started some mirepoix with parsnips for sweetness
Got it caramelised
Added some tomato paste and cooked down for more sweet
Put in a pint of Kilkenny Irish ale and some chicken stock
Put in shallots, white turnip, carrots, parsnips, white and red onion
Stuffed the shanks in, covered and cooked at 250* for three hours
Some herbs and lemon zest
Made roasted garlic and rosemary mashed potatoes but Gary upstaged me so I took the white turnip, parsnips, some of the onions, shallots and whipped them in to the potatoes with whipping cream

@Little Steven thanks, how long do you grill them before the braise? Also, how do you check for doneness on these?They/Them

You are only browning them. Just till you get a nice dark caramelisation, or Maillard reaction (that was for Nola). The darker the colour the sweeter it will be.

Sorry I didn't answer the doneness question. You can just look at the pullback on the bone or stick a fork in one and twist. They are pretty tender when done. You don't want them falling apart but very tender. I've used Stephen Raichland's olive wood for smoke each time too.

You may want to increase the heat to 280-300* As I remember I think I was 4 hours or so at 250*. It's a moist cook so you won't gain anything at lower temps.
