Slow Cooked Lamb Shanks (Seco De Chivo) Recipe #291950
This dish is generally known as Seco de Chivo. Goat or lamb is used interchangeably, though in America, lamb is much more commonly eaten and it is easier to find in the supermarket. When made with lamb, this dish is also known as Seco de Cordero or Seco de Borrego. This is great with mashed potatoes or rice. A friend tried this recipe and served it over polenta, which she says worked well.
