Method

Add the coarse salt and black peppercorns to a mortar and grind until relatively fine. Season the lamb shanks all over with the mixture and place them on a roasting tray.
Roast in the oven at 250°C (250°C) for 30 minutes, until browned.
Transfer the lamb shanks to a deep pot along with the roasting juices, then pour in enough olive oil to cover.
Add the rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, and garlic cloves. Make sure everything is submerged in the oil.
Cover the pot with parchment paper and a lid. Bake in the oven at 150°C (150°C) for 5 hours.
Serve the lamb shanks with bread and your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
