I really enjoyed this dish. DH put it in the crockpot as he was leaving for work, and it was so nice to come home to the wonderful smell in the house and have dinner ready with no further prep. I thought this had really nice flavor and reheated well for lunch the next day. The meat was very tender and moist. DH was less enthusiastic about this dish than I was and thought it needed a little more "uumph," though he still enjoyed it. We followed the directions as posted and served over basamati rice. Thanks for posting!

We enjoyed this a lot thanks Sue. I cooked mine in the oven set at 120C for about 3 1/2 hours and the shanks were beautifully tender. This is a very easy recipe to throw together. Couldn't bring myself to serve just with couscous so instead served with roast potatoes and steamed veggies. This made quite a lot of sauce so have frozen some for later.

Amazing recipe!! We doubled the recipe for 5-6 lbs of lamb and had no problem doing that, but we also found that adding another single portion of spices halfway through took out the salty taste and kept the flavorings. We also added another teaspoon of cinnamon and a teaspoon of curry powder, which made it basically perfect. Served with the Yogurt Garlic Sauce listed on here, it more than impressed my family and friends last night, all of whom basically live out of gourmet restaurants and hotels. Excellent recipe!! Hint: for those of you near Costco, they have lamb at very reasonable prices.
