This is an excellent recipe!!! I love all the flavours and how well they all come together. I too just simmered it on the stove top like Jan and the shanks were perfectly cooked with the meat falling off the bone. I did use a fennel bulb and loved the use of it in this recipe. I also loved the spice that came through from the sambal oelek. I served ours over couscous and it made for a truly delicious meal and one that I have had requests to be made again soon.
