Wine-Braised Lamb Shanks with Herbes de ProvencePornchai Mittongtare

If an herbes de Provence blend isn't available, use a combination of dried thyme, basil, savory, and fennel seeds. Dried porcini can be found at Italian markets, specialty foods stores, and many supermarkets.

Market tip:

Not all supermarkets have lamb shanks on hand, so call ahead in case you need to order them.
