    Wow. Making the whole meal takes some time and effort, but its worth it. The flavor is amazing. I highly recommend making the Orzo with the lamb. Once enhances the other.

    This is the first time I have ever taken the time to sign up and review a recipe. Whenever the budget doen't allow for steak or leg of lamb this has become my go to. Is it labor intensive? A bit but so incredibly delicious not only for family but for those of us in the kitchen! Also, the orzo is off the chain.It has been my experience that if I don't play with the recipe first time I make it and FOLLOW THE RECIPE, Bobby, Ina and Giada don't disappoint!

    Made this yesterday for dinner and it was delicious! Although a bit involved, it was well worth the effort. My husband commented (3 times how tasty it was, really enjoyed it! Thanks Bobby!

    I have made the roasted lamb shanks (minus the tomatoes and orzo for a number of sit down dinners for eight. It is a wonderful comfort food, but also elegant enough to serve for a six course meal. Be sure to use a high quality zinfandel and enjoy hearing your guests say..."This is better than any restaurant lamb dish I have ever had!" Thanks, Bobby!

    Dear Bobby,
    you are a culinary genius! I made this for a birthday dinner for my boyfriend (now husband. He was so impressed that he is still talking about how amazingly good that meal was. He said it tasted like a 5 star restaurant meal! I will admit it is a lot of work but worth it! I will make it again- maybe for his 40th!!

    While visiting our daughter in Belgium I made this for a Sunday dinner with the in-laws. There was nothing left over! The best lamb shank recipe ever. Thank you for helping me look really good.

    This recipe was more complex than many dishes I have attempted before, but so rewarding! Even though I am not the biggest lamb fan, I loved this. Delicious -- and the port and red wine combination made a heavenly sauce and braising liquid. Company raved about this one! Thanks!

    While I have cooked many recipes from the Food Network and other online sources, the shanks, roasted garlic, and toasted orzo combination has become one of my favorite meals. It is a fairly classic braise that features lamb shanks, which are delicious and about one third the cost of veal for osso bucco, while incorporating some port to make the dish even richer and more flavorful. The idea of toasting just half of the orzo before cooking it risotto style is pure genius (maybe a basic of professional culinary training, but for a home cooking enthusiast like myself, it's the excellent sort of tip that makes me think about varying the flavor profiles of the other ingredients. Be sure to make enough for leftovers because like most braises, this one is even better the next day. Thanks for sharing this one!

    Bobby, you nailed this one! No surprise that an Irish guy can cook Lamb shanks to perfection. We loved it. I followed the recipe precisely as I wanted a true Bobby Flay food experience. The roasted tomato's were a perfect cleansing compliment to the richness of the orzo side as well as the shanks. Was one of those dishes that no matter how full we were getting, couldn't stop eating.....and we didn't until all was gone.
