Amazing! Didn't eat veggies because they strained them out on the show! Easy big meal--and even better the next day.

Good, but not great. I added extra vegetables and mushrooms. Overall the dish was a bit too greasy for me, but my kids liked it

Yum, yum! This recipe is a keeper - one of the best I've ever made!! I used chicken stock instead of water in the orzo. I made half of the recipe and it still turned out great. I love the fact that you can just eyeball the wine and port (got that from watching the episode. I like the last review re: adding more vegetables....the more the better!

This was really wonderful. I added a little more celery and carrots and used 5 lamb shanks plus I added baby bella mushrooms which I quartered. The next I was ready to go. I started by seasoning the shanks then browning them; removed them and added my veggies; then added wine and reduced and continues to follow recipe but I then put it all in the crock pot since I don't have a dutch oven that I put in the oven. I set it on high for about 4 hrs then turned it to low. It was done in about 6 hrs. The meat was ver tender, as a matter of fact it fell off the bone. I removed the meat and strained the rest reserving the veggies and the liquid separately. Refrigerated both and the next day I removed the fat from the liquid which was all gel'd.
I reheated it in a roasting pan with some liquid and then cooked up the orzo. I used part water, 1 can chicken broth and the rest was the shank liquid. It was creamy tasty and my husband loved it.
Enjoy

Really wonderful - lots of flavor. And while the recipe looked a little bit intense to me, it turned out to not be as difficult as it looked. The lamb was oh so tender, and the vegetables really soaked up the flavor. I also loved the texture of the orzo.

This recipe was outstanding! I had friends over for the football game and decided to try lamb shanks. I reviewed the recipes and decided to do this one. Bobby my husband is Greek and said it was the best lamb he's ever had. Better than in any restaurant. I made mashed potatoes innstead of the orzo and made brussel sprouts. I also omitted the port wine and used 3 cups of red wine instead. The vegetables were a great addition to the lamb and sauce. Thank you Bobby!

Very flavorful, but I thought it lost its lamb flavor (which I enjoy. And maybe I don't have very nice port, but the port made the liquid sort-of sweet. I think I'll make it with all red wine next time. Finally, I didn't think that the roasted garlic flavor really came through in the final product. I didn't make the toasted orzo, made garlic smashed potatoes instead. They were great with the broth all over them.

I will probably make again, with some adjustments.

This was fantastic. We had a snow day and spent the time to make this recipe. Best lamb shanks I've ever had. It does take time and it was worth it.

Wonderful recipe! My husband loves lamb and I'm not a huge fan of it. Everything turned out wonderful! The orzo was creamy and flavorful, the lamb shanks & veggies were full of flavor as well! I added turnips and mushrooms to the vegetables called for in the recipe since my husband loves how turnips goes with lamb. Will definitely do this one again!

Great Recipe! The lamb shank part is spot on. However, I would suggest roasting the garlic wrapped in foil for 50-60 mins at 350 degrees.
