Awesome recipe, but I used it first on the old site. There the recipe called for a “bunch” of thyme, not a “sprig”. I think the “bunch” amount is correct, and you need about 2 tablespoons of thyme leaves tripped from e stems to sauté with the garlic, and then throw the rest of the sprigs in with the shanks to braise.
This was AMAZING!
when you say: 10 Place remaining garlic cloves and additional thyme springs in pan with shanks…..
do you mean place the garlic and tyme leaves over the shanks in baking dish and then bake??
just wanted to clarify before attempting 🙂 thanks!
