| 1. Shanks: Coat lamb with grated onion, ras el hanout and salt and pepper. | 2. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. | 3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a heavy based pan. | 4. Add the meat and brown on all sides. | 5. Add the saffron, cinnamon stick and enough water to just cover the meat; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours. | 6. Allow to cool a little, then remove the shanks. | 7. Reserve the liquid, skimming the fat, or allow to cool over night in the fridge then remove the fat. | 8. Remove the meat from the bones in as large pieces as possible, discarding fat, gristle and bones. | 9. Season with additional salt and pepper, then refrigerate meat. | 10. Sauce: In a medium pan, heat the butter and oil, add the sliced onions, and sprinkle with the sugar and more salt and pepper to taste. | 11. Cook over medium-high heat for 15 minutes, tossing or stirring only when brown. | 12. Turn the heat to low and cook until onions are soft and brown, about 20 minutes more. | 13.
