Arik's Favorite Lamb Shanks

Arik loves meat of all kinds, but lamb is his undisputed favorite. Of all lamb dishes, the one below is the one he likes best. I hope your kids enjoy it as much as he does!

4 lamb shanks

4 carrots, peeled and chunked

1 onion, peeled and chunked

1 clove garlic, peeled and minced

4 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme

1 sprig rosemary or ½ tsp dried rosemary

2 ½ cups water

3 cubes beef bouillon

Salt and pepper to taste

Some add peeled, cubed potatoes but Arik prefers rice on the side

Place all ingredients in a Dutch oven (I use Le Crueset) and put in a preheated 350F over for 2 hours.
