I followed this recipe to the letter and it was really delicious. I will definitely make it again. Thank you
Very Good.very tender & moist.Raw shanks are hard to find to begin with.
This turned out fantastic ! Looked just like the photo and the flavor was wonderful. I think it would be great with Lamb Shanks too. Will do this one again !
It turned out like I had in Muchen. I have had it twice and it is great. 01-01-2017 Made it again. I can’t say enough how good these pork shanks taste. Make them just like the recipe. No changes. Yummy!!!
