From chatting with my colleague, I decided to pair polenta with lamb shanks. I found a recipe in the Australian Women's weekly featuring red wine and onions. I love how rich the flavours are in this dish! Next time, I would have ask the butcher to trim it as my shanks looked like huge drum sticks!!
