Sure, a slow braised treatment is just right for lamb shanks. But osso bucco
is traditionally veal shanks that have been cut crossways into1-1.5 inch
thick slices. Osso bucco means bone with a hole, and scooping the marrow
from the bones is one of the best parts! I think lamb shanks are a bit on
the small side for this treatment.
