List of Ingredients

* 4 meaty lamb shanks, sawed into 2-inch lengths
* 4 cloves garlic
* 1 tsp fresh or dried thyme
* Salt
* Freshly ground pepper
* 1 rounded Tbsp tomato paste
* 2 cups dry red wine


Recipe

Preheat oven to 325 degrees (F). Place each lamb shank on an 18-inch square of heavy-duty foil. Slice a garlic clove over each and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Shape the foil up around the shanks without closing it and place the packets in a large roasting pan. Dissolve the tomato paste in the wine and divide among the packets. Seal the packets tightly. Bake 1-1/2 to 2-1/4 hours, or until tender. Transfer the lamb shanks and the sauce to shallow soup plates. Serve with Sheepherder's Bread.
