Steps

Start by searing off the lamb shanks with some olive oil for few mins and set aside .In a large pot add the shanks with the boiling spices , generously cover with water and bring to a boil , after about 15 mins reduce the heat to med/low cover the pot and let cook about 3.5 hours .The longer you boil the lamb for the better the stock you’ll get and that meat will simply fall off the bone .Cut up the bread into squares and deep fry in hot oil a few mins then leave on paper towel and set aside .Make the yoghurt mixture by adding garlic , salt , vinegar and tahini to a bowl and mixing together , add the yoghurt on top with about 3/4 cup of water and mix well , if it’s too thick add a little more water to make it a smooth consistency.Once shanks are ready set them aside and cool , take off the meat and shred .Strain the stock and set aside for assembly of fatteh .In a large platter layer the bread with a sprinkle of saltAdd a bit of the lamb stock to flavour the bread but don’t make it too soggy , add the yoghurt mixture and top , now add the shredded lamb meat . Top off with the melted butter with cooked pine nuts.Garnish with some paprika and fresh parsleyServe next to Arab style rice if you like .
