2 Ancho chilies
1 c Boiling water
2 tb Vegetable oil
4 Lamb shanks
2 md White onions, halved
1/3 c Raisins
2 tb Piloncillo, Mexican hard
-sauce 4 c Garlic, minced
3/8 ts Oregano
1/2 ts Cumin
28 oz Tomato, whole peeled
3/4 c Beef stock
4 Bay leaf
1 tb Cider vinegar
Romaine lettuce, shredded Black olives, pitted 1. Place chilies
in small bowl with boiling water, let stand 1 hour 2. Heat
lard or oil in Dutch oven over med. heat until hot. Add 2 lamb
shanks. Cook turning often, until brown on all sides about 20
minutes. Remove to plate. Repeat. 3. Place chilies and 1/3 cup of
the soaking liquid in a blender and process until smooth. Discard
remaining soaking liquid. 4. Remove and discard all but 2 TBS oil
from Dutch oven. Add onions and saute’ over medium heat about 4
mins. or until soft. Reduce heat to med-low and stir in raisins,
sugar, garlic, oregano and cumin. Add chili puree and cook stirring
constantly for 2 minutes. 5. Add tomatoes, stock and bay leaves to
pan. Heat to boiling. Add lamb shanks and simmer over low heat,
covered, turning occasionally until lamb is very, very
tender–about 2 to 2/12 hours/ 6. Remove lamb to serving platter
and keep warm. Skim and discard fat from cooking sauce. Stir in
vinegar. Heat sauce to boiling over med.-high heat and cook
uncovered, stirring frequently until sauce is thickened–about 10
minutes. Spoon sauce over lamb. Serve, garnished with lettuce and
olives (Maybe even some quartered tomatoes). Accompany with Refried
Beans garnished as desired with shredded cheese and diced white
onions. I recommend with shanks that you clean them as well as
possible of as much fat as possible plus that white membrane. Don’t
remove all the membrane, however, as something has to hold them
together.
