In a medium pot over medium high heat, sear the lamb shank until well-browned on all sides. With the heat still on, add a half cup of apple cider to the pan to deglaze and lift all the seared bits from the pan. Transfer shank and juices to your multi-cooker or slow cooker. Add remaining cider, fish sauce, 1 head of garlic (smashed), the rosemary, sage, thyme, cinnamon stick, anise pod, bay leaves. Cover and seal lid to either pressure cook for 2 hours or slow cook for 6 hours.<\/p>\n<p>When there\u2019s about an hour left on the lamb, preheat your oven to 450\u00b0F. Prepare your vegetables and toss them with olive oil, salt and pepper and spread on a veggie tray and roast for 45 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>For a dramatic presentation, place the shank in the center of a platter and arrange the vegetables around it, garnishing with any remaining rosemary sprigs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who said leg of lamb is just for Easter?
