  • 3. Brown the meat on all sides.
  • 4. Add the remaining ingredients along with all of the browned shanks, seal the pressure-cooker lid, and bring the cooker to high pressure. Cook at high pressure for 20 minutes. Release steam about 10 minutes.

    • I just have to tell you that this is the 2nd time I have made this dish and it was a real success - i didn't use a pressure cooker - I slow cooked the lamb in a casserole pot for 2 hours and it was delicious - thanks
