Heat oil in a medium pot over HI heat and sear all sides of the lamb shanks, turning until browned all over. This can be done in batches if necessary. Remove from the pot and set aside.

After 1 ½ hours, stir in the lemon juice and tomato paste, and continue to cook for another hour or until the meat is tender.
