Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a heavy bottom Dutch oven, sear seasoned (salt and pepper) lamb shanks until golden brown. Set aside lamb shanks. In Dutch oven, roast onions, garlic, dried oregano, and thyme until lightly caramelized. Deglaze with red wine. Add tomatoes. Add lamb shanks and top up with water until shanks are barely submerged. Bring to boil and cover. Braise in the oven for 2.5 hours. Remove lid for an additional hour of braising, totaling 3.5 hours. Meat should be fork tender and sauce reduced. Season with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Finish with fresh torn parsley.
