Rinse lamb shanks and place in a large pot with cold water to just cover the meat.

In another pan gently fry the onion in the olive oil until transparent.
Then add the bahrat & turmeric and fry for a further one minute.
Add tomatoes, approximately 1 1/2 tsp salt and some pepper to taste and raisins if using.
When lamb shank liquid is well skimmed and simmering, add the tomato mixture.
Cover and simmer gently for 1 1/2-2 hours until meat is very tender. Towards the end of cooking, place the lid on an angle so that the liquid can reduce to a thick sauce and sqeeze the optional lemon.
