Butcher-shop owner Tanya Cauthen likes flavoring supremely tender braised lamb with a North African spice blend that includes cumin and fennel seeds. Lamb shanks are great for serving at dinner parties, since they look so dramatic, but lamb stew meat—cut from the shoulder or the leg—is equally delicious. Or, for a less gamey flavor, substitute beef short ribs.
Make Ahead The braised shanks can be refrigerated in the sauce for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving. Notes Harissa is a North African chile paste. It is available at specialty shops. Serve With Couscous.
