Prepare the marinade: in a large bowl, combine all the ingredients
Place the lamb shank on top of this mixture and turn it several times until it's entirely coated
Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight
Precalibrate the oven to 250°C (very hot)
Place the lamb shank in a roasting pan
Cover with aluminum foil and put it in the preheated oven for about 2 hours

Transfer the lamb shank to a serving platter
Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the fat
Garnish the lamb with hortelã leaves and serve hot, accompanied by the sauce
