    This is AWESOME! First time for me ever to cook Shanks and wow, I picked the best recipe to start with. It’s a very simple recipe but loaded with taste and has certainly been added to our list of “will cook again”. Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic recipe with us.

  3. I cooked this tonight, and my husband and I loved it. Thank you for a great recipe!

    My partner absolutely loved this, will definitely be making again over the cooler months.

  5. I tried this recipe for the first time and it was a big success. Will definitely be cooking it again. I did double the sauce amount as I had two large lamb shanks!

  6. My husband and I absolutely loved this recipe. I doubled the amount of sauce due to the size of my Lamb Shanks and added carrot. Turned out amazing

  7. Family favourite! Its rare to find something my whole family loves but this is the unicorn dish.
    Delicious!!!
