Lamb Shank Hotpot

Lamb Shank Hotpot. Growing up, I used to dread seeing hotpot on the dinner table, because a bad one is a very sad meal. But this is hotpot at its absolute best: lamb shanks braised in red wine until they fall apart, folded through a thick, glossy gravy and covered with layers of buttery potatoes that turn golden and crisp in the oven. One of the warmest, most comforting dishes Britain has ever produced, and one that could comfortably hold its own against any French classic.
