Stir in marjoram. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until lamb is very tender, turning lamb shanks occasionally, about 2 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Return to boil before continuing.)Uncover and boil liquid until reduced to sauce consistency if necessary.
