    Love it, I substituted a pork roast for the shanks and it turned out great.

    Awesome! I couldn't find the pork shanks, but found and substituted veal shanks. My husband loved it! Everything was great, mushroom dumplings and creamed peas. Made a wonderful Sunday dinner.

    That was the BEST PORK Ever!!! I made mine with a side of jasmine rice and cucumber salad. My son n I are allergic to milk, and my son doesnt like pea's. It was so yummy, full of flavor and easy to make. I am a fan. Thank You Big DADDY!!!!

    I watched this episode yesterday morning and got everything I needed to make it for Sunday dinner. I like many others had no luck finding pork shanks. I used a pork roast instead. It was delicious!!! So tasty. A definate make again. The jury is still out on the dumplings. I found them slimy as well. I think I will try them again but with fresh sauteed mushrooms and onion. The peas were fabulous! The dinner was a perfect Sunday dinner. Will make this again for sure.

    Best recipe ever! Used only 2 shanks instead of 3 as they were very large, but other than that followed the recipe exactly. Never would have thought to use mushroom soup in dumplings but they were exceptional, very moist and tender with lots of flavor. Big Daddy rocks!

    Okay I joined Food Network just so I could give a rating on THIS RECIPE!! This was hands down one of the most tastiest dishes I've ever made. According to my husband and sons! Please make sure to go to a butcher and get your Pork Shanks (I used 4 instead of 3. I seasoned them the night before then followed the recipe from there on!! My braising time ran closer to 3 hrs, but Ohhh was it worth the wait! For my dumplings I used Cream of Chicken & Mushroom soup (As I'm not that big a fan of mushrooms and I also substituted chopped fresh cilantro for the chives. Delicious!! add more chicken broth and a bit of water if your dumplings thicken your broth too much. This is a "STICK TO YOUR RIBS MEAL"

    I didn't use shank, I used a beef roast and oxtails (cooked together...I prepared them per the recipe, the red wine was a deep rich savory flavor combined with all the other ingredients...The dumplings are by far the best, I have ever made and I have been cooking for years...I did mashed potatoes & creamed spinish, since my 20 year old doesnt like peas. I will never again prepare my roast or oxtails without red wine...This is a WINNER...Thanks Aaron

    I am cooking this recipe as we speak. I had to go to a local butcher to get the pork shanks...they dont sell these in any store here. Please make sure you have a dutch oven big enough for the shanks. I had to cut mine some to assure they would fit. Smells delicious and cant wait for it to be done.

    You would need to go to a meat market to find fresh pork shanks, they don't usually carry them in mass supermarkets.
