4 lamb shanks
1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
2 fennel bulbs, stems removed and cut into wedges
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup (60 ml) Pernod or other anise-flavored liqueur
1-28 oz (796 ml) can of stewed tomatoes
2 fresh rosemary sprigs

Preparation

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 170 °C (325 °F).
In a large ovenproof pan, brown the shanks on all sides in 30 ml (2 tablespoons) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set the shanks aside on a plate.
Remove the fat from the pan. Brown the fennel and onion in the remaining oil. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Deglaze with the Pernod and reduce until almost dry.
Put the lamb back in the pan. Add the tomatoes and rosemary. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook for about 2 ½ hours or until the meat falls off the bone. Add the beans and cook for 15 additional minutes. Remove the rosemary. Adjust seasoning.
