This is a fantastic recipe for lamb shanks. So simple but yet so good. The meat was falling off the bone and oh, that gravy!! It is really rich and full of flavour. The cooking time was right on, leaving the lamb a bit pink. I am so happy to have found this dish and especially for the leftovers so I can enjoy this lamb again tomorrow!

This dish was amazing! Rich and flavorful and you can't believe how good the house smelled. I made a couple of changes, used 1 carrot and 1 stalk of celery with the onions and mixed chicken and beef broth. Will definately make this again and add this to the family cookbook. THANKS!

This recipe is fantastic! Instead of onions I used shallots. The meat was falling off the bone when it was finished and the sauce was excellent. We saved the sauce to use with future dishes. There was enough food for 4 people to eat and also leftovers for my wife and I the following day at work. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe.

Well cooked shanks are always a 5 star meal in this house. They are a favourite, but are expensive, so they need to be done well. This made a really nice change, as most often we have tomatoey sauces over them, and lately a lot of beans in those sauces. This simple, but rich sauce really highlighted the flavour of our delicious shanks. Thanks, we'll make this one again.

I made this with 2 shanks in a dutch oven while we decorated the front of the house for Chistmas. Cooked itself. I opened a can of Canelli beans and heated them in the micro. I drained them and put the shanks and beans on our plates and spooned the rich wine sauce over both beans and shanks. We had french rolls to soak up the wonderful gravy. Wundabar!! could not have been better!!!
