I loved it, very flavoursome and lovely thick sauce. I used 5 tablespoons of gravy powder, but next time I will try 4. The flavour can be varied depending on the wine you use; I had a beautiful Shiraz and will try other varieties in the future. I had a half leg of lamb and chopped up the leftovers and added that to the remaining sauce to freeze for future meals ?
Well this was delicious! Followed the recipe exactly, everyone very happy!!
I made this today with 1.6kg leg of lamb. I only used 4tbsp of gravy powder. Once I took the lamb out I added 2 more tablespoons of gravy powder to the liquid and blitzed it. Turned the SC onto warm and left it while waiting 10mins for the lamb to settle before serving. Absolutely amazing. Thank you to whoever shared this recipe.
Tried this tonight for first time and it was so easy to make and was absolutely delicious!!! Meat fell off bone served with mashed potato. Definitely be doing this recipe again. Thanks
Made this tonight, oh my gosh AHHHMAZING! My husband said it is the best meal I have ever cooked, which is a huge compliment coming from him as he is the chef in the family! I doubled the recipe to get loads of sauce but it really wasn’t necessary, ill freeze the rest of it for a bolagnaise sauce!
I made this Sunday night and it was amazing. The recipe is so versatile you can add almost anything to it. I kept it simple and only added mushrooms and an extra 1/2 glass of red wine 🙂 The sauce I will add to pasta for dinner tonight and add some cooked chicken for a quick and easy meal. One very happy little camper.
Made this tonight and it is yum!! I didn’t have any red wine so substituted with some beef stock. Will definitely be going on our regular rotation.
Tried this the other week and OMG! I don’t like lamb (but the rest of the fam love it) I was just going to have the sauce with mash but ended up have some lamb:) the only thing I did differently was added some fresh rosemary. It was amazing!!
Made this tonight, was a hit.
Son taking the leftovers to work for lunch tomorrow.
Easy to make.
made this tonight!! great hit with the family they all loved it
Comfort food at its best. Full of deliciousness.
Big hit with hubby. YUMMO 😋 he said giving it a 10/10.
NOTE: I added 1 teaspoon dried thyme, sprigs of fresh rosemary. Cooked in my 3.5L Westinghouse sc fir 8 hours.
Yum! So easy to prepare and really tasty!
Loved it, easy and tasty! I added carrots to the recipe and served with mash. Definite winner.
This is a regular in our house – partner loves it.
this is a absolutely delicious recipe and I highly recommend it to anyone
Thank you Claire for a delicious recipe.
Full of rich flavour.
I used Mutton (instead of Lamb), 4 tablespoons of gravy powder and added a teaspoon of rosemary. It makes plenty of sauce.
what size sc for shanks in red wine gravey is the perfect one?
I’d suggest something in the range if 5-6L is ideal William 🙂
This was amazing, followed the recipe and my husband said it is the best of all the recipes I have cooked with shanks. Thank you 👍😊
I changed the recipe a little
diced veggies were celery onion & carrot crushed garlic 2 cups of chicken stock satchel of tomato paste & 1 cup of red wine & cooked that off & seasoned was cracked black pepper salt & white pepper
No gravy mix was add either. Also I added dash of Cornwells Lancashire Relish hot sauce. once it was totally cooked & tenderbI pulled the shanks out & blended the gravy until it thickened up also I just played round by reading her recipe it turned out beautiful hubby raved over it
Thanks for taking the time to leave your detailed feedback for others Judith 🙂
