Hazırlanışı

1. Put the onion, fennel, garlic, broth, tomatoes, tomato paste, thyme and bay leaf in a slow cooker and stir to mix well. Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil until hot, then add the shanks and brown well on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to the slow cooker. Remove the sauté pan from the heat, pour in the wine and return to medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the pan bottom, then add the wine to the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours according to the manufacturers instructions. To make the gremolata topping, place the parsley, lemon zest, and garlic on a cutting board, and use a sharp knife to finely mince. Remove the bay leaf from the cooking liquid. Remove the lamb shanks to a heated platter, and increase the heat to high for 30 minutes to thicken the sauce. (Alternatively, use a hand wand to blend the vegetables into the sauce and thicken.) In a pot, mix the polenta with the broth, mashed sweet potatoes, sage, salt and pepper and cook until tender following manufacture's directions. Once cooked, stir the butter into the polenta. Spoon the polenta onto four individual plates, then top with lamb shanks, sauce and vegetables, and serve immediately topped with a spoonful of gremolata.
