Notes
- The nutritional analysis is only an estimate based on available ingredients and the recipe’s preparation.
- To thicken the sauce: Mix two tablespoons of all-purpose flour with ¼ cup of the sauce from the pot until fully dissolved. Then, pour this mixture into the simmering sauce while stirring rapidly until completely blended. Allow it to simmer for 4-5 minutes or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- You can cook the lamb shanks on the stove on low.
