Lamb Shanks with a Chipotle Beer Sauce
Adapted from More Than Gourmet
This delicious mealtime treat offers fork-tender lamb shanks cooked with a sauce of Guinness beer, chipotle chili and tomatoes. Serve over a generous helping of smashed potatoes and a side of steamed spinach. You can make the lamb shanks well ahead of time or the day before and refrigerate to meld the flavors. This is one dish that tastes even better when reheated.
