Flavorful, economical, easy to prepare, this barbecue recipe from Mrs Kenneth J. Hardy of San Jose, Calif. The foil-packaged shanks can be prepared in the oven to serve indoors if it rains.

6 lean lamb shanks
1 envelope (1-3/8 ounces) onion soup mix
3 tomatoes, cut into chunks

Cut 6 pieces heavy-duty aluminum foil large enough to wrap each lamb shank. Distribute half the onion soup mix and tomato chunks on the piece of foil. Place lamb shanks on vegetable mixture. Distribute remaining soup mix and tomatoes over shanks. Wrap securely.
Grill over moderate heat, turning occasionally, for 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Or, place wrapped shanks in a shallow pan. Bake at 300F for 3-1/2 hours.

Lamb shanks in bundles, cooked with vegetables in foil (1966)
Here is an idea for the busy holidays ahead; a meal that can be put into the oven and forgotten ’til it’s ready to serve. Meat and vegetables are all cooked in the same bundle and can be served right from the foil.
Ingredients
6 lamb shanks
6 tablespoons bottled steak sauce
3 medium-size onions
6 tender carrots
Salt
Freshly-grated pepper
Minced garlic (optional)
Directions
Purchase meaty lamb shanks, each sufficient for one serving. Trim off excess fat.
Place each on a large square of heavy-duty foil. Brush with steak sauce. Add the vegetables, whole if they are small, cut in halves or quarters if larger.
Divide them between the packages and sprinkle each serving with seasonings. Seal the foil to make tight packages and place on a shallow pan.
Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 1-1/2 hours. Serve packages on plates, letting each person open his own. Vegetables may be varied to suit family tastes.
