Add the lamb shanks and brown them well, 4 or 5 minutes per side. Add the garlic and mushrooms and saute until the mushrooms are tender, 3 or 4 minutes. Add the wine and cook for another 3 or 4 minutes, or until half the wine has evaporated. Add the stock and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Add the rosemary, savory, and salt and pepper to taste. 4 Cover the roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil and place it in the oven.
