Procedure
0. Place the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of oil, the wine, pepper, garlic, oregano, and cumin in a blender and puree. Place the shanks in a bowl, pour in the marinade, and massage well to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight.
1. In a high-sided pan, cook the meat with the marinade, salt, tomato, and cinnamon stick. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours at low temperature until the meat is completely tender.
2. Once the lamb is cooked and completely tender, sauté the potatoes in 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to brown and soften. Remove the lamb from the pot, place it on a platter, and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
3. Add the browned potatoes to the pot and stir well. Cover and continue cooking for another 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the potatoes are cooked through and very tender. Add the lamb to the pot over low heat to reheat. Check the seasoning, adding more if necessary. Serve with crusty bread and a green salad.
