Divine. It was so flavoursome and the meat simply fell off the bones. We are putting this in our favourites to have again.

I made this recipe the other day, deeeelish! I used a tsp of powdered beef stock instead of liquid stock , a can of chopped tomatoes, a clove of garlic and two tiny red chillies, it was a hit. And the gravy on mashed potatoes is super yum, thanks for an easy shanks recipe

I love this recipe and so did the whole family! So easy to throw together too. I use beef instead of lamb shanks and serve on mashed potato. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

This was a real winner!! Followed the recipe except for the carrots and thickened the sauce with 3 tablespoons of instant chicken gravy with 30min to go. Delicious!!

We had this for dinner last week and it was very yummy with lots of flavour… So this week my dad asked if you could use Turkey legs. We had it for dinner tonight with Turkey legs and the only ingredient i changed was the Beef stock to Chicken stock and was yummy… I’m not a fan of turkey as i find it too dry but this just fell apart…. Only problem with turkey is that it is also very filling….

This recipe is excellent. The sauce has a lovely flavour and it’s a very affordable family meal.
Thank you Gail

Loved this.
I used gravy flour to thicken the cooking liquid into a gravy and added an extra slug of wostershire sauce and tomato sauce.
Easy recipe as I always have these ingredients in the pantry.

I would do so Lesley, lamb shanks are very tolerable to long times cooking, but be sure to cook on LOW not high 🙂

Hi just wondering if the 1 cup of beef stock is the only liquid in this recipe? Just doesn’t seem enough liquid to cook properly? Not wanting to stuff it up! 🙂

The oily nature of lamb could make them a little oily but give it a go I say 🙂

Curious, could throwing in other veggies as well as the carrots work too? I’ve got a fussy toddler to feed and veggies always end up on the floor haha.
