  This was amazingly easy - preparation was more like 10 minutes! The meat was lovely and tender. However, I found the sauce very, very rich and a bit overwhelming - hence the 3 star rating. If you don't like very rich sauces it might be worth watering the wine down a little.

  Delicious! Very easy to prepare I served it with plain mash potato and it was gret and im not realy a fan of lamb. I agreed with the person above thinking it was a bit on the sweet side but once served with veg etc it was perfect highly reccomend.

  Beautifully rich and tender meat that melted in the mouth. Great that I could prepare it in advance and just leave it to cook, filling the house with a lovely aroma. Although I followed the quantities in the recipe, I ended up with far too much sauce, so I've frozen it to serve with lamb chops in the future.

  Sauce was far too sweet and although the taste of the lamb was OK I've had far better braised lamb shanks than this.

  Did this for a dinner party, everyone loved it. No alterations made to the recipe, definitely would do it again. The potatoes were great and made a nice change.

  Made this on Sunday and it cooked as I was decorating the Christmas tree - the smells were divine! Served it with Boulangere potatoes which was a mistake - think it needed something softer to soak up the lovely sauce. The meat was so tasty and fell of the bone. Definitely one to do again.
