Remove the lid and cook for 30 mins more. Spoon away any excess fat. The sauce will be fairly thin, so if you prefer a thicker stew, remove the lamb and quinces to a serving plate, then boil the cooking juices until thickened. Season, add the lemon juice and serve with the lamb.

Recommended wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Shiraz

Lamb Shanks can be paired with Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Shiraz. Red wine with red meat is fairly standard, but these bold reds with smoother tannins complement lamb's delicate flavor. The Dunn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 90 dollars per bottle.
