SLIDESHOWS: Lamb

Merguez-Spiced Lamb Shanks with Chickpeas

Tanya Cauthen of Belmont Butchery in Richmond, Virginia, 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.
