Lamb Shanks with Figs and Honey

4 tablespoons olive oil

10 lamb shanks

3—4 stalks thyme

2 lb. onions

2 garlic cloves

2 tablespoons rosemary needles

15 oz. can pumpkin purée

3 cups dried figs

1 teaspoon ground allspice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

⅓ cup honey

1 bottle red wine

2 cups water

Heat the oil in a very large casserole dish, brown the lamb shanks in small batches and transfer them to a plate.

Pull the leaves off the thyme stalks and discard the stalks. Finely chop the onions, garlic, rosemary and thyme (a food processor is easiest). Fry them in the oily pan until the onion is soft.

Add the pumpkin, figs, allspice, cinnamon, honey, wine and water. Stir well, bring to the boil, and put the lamb back in. Turn down the heat and simmer for 11/2 hours.

When possible, make this dish the day before serving and place it in the fridge overnight. The next day the flavours will not only be enhanced but the fat will have risen to the top. Skim this off before reheating and serving.
