Ingredients: bulbs of fennel, tops trimmed and quartered, ends still attached 1/4 cup olive oil 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper red chilli 6 lamb shanks 1 onion, finely chopped 1 head of garlic, peeled 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, leaves chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried) 4 tomatoes, chopped, or three 15-ounce cans, drained and chopped 1 cup dry white wine 1 cup chicken broth
Directions: In a roasting pan, toss the fennel, 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Set aside. Dry the lamb shanks on paper towels and season with the remaining salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb until golden, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Do in 2 batches if necessary.) Remove the lamb and set aside. Heat oven to 400° F. Pour off the excess oil from the Dutch oven. Stir in the onion, garlic, and rosemary. Cook 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, wine, broth, and lamb. Cover and bring to a boil. Place in oven. Cook the lamb until it is fork-tender, about 2 1/2 hours, occasionally basting with the cooking liquid. After 1 hour, place the pan of fennel in the oven and roast until tender. Serve with the pan juices.
