I loved this recipe and especially the sauce it was finger licking. I wasnt sure what to do with the brown sugar so I just mixed in with the wine mix. I also only cooked it for 4.5 hours as i only used to lamb shanks. This is a dish i will be making again. - 10 Oct 2010
Something else. most important alteration: i only cooked it for half the time specified also a little change i made & that was to add a garnish when serving made of chopped parsley & mint, chrushed garlic & finely grated lemon rind. it just added that little something! - 05 Sep 2010
