Tanya Cauthen's Merguez-Spiced Lamb Shanks with Chickpeas

How dedicated Tanya Cauthen in her field of cooking which made her open her shop in 2006, The Belmont Butchery in Richmond, Virginia. In fact, she likes flavoring supremely tender braised land 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 of the leg - is equally delicious. Of for a less gamey flavor, substitute beef short ribs.
