[sunsetmj1978]

I never got back to you about how GOOD this meal was. Let me tell you sir, I have made this EXACT recipe twice now since my last post. It is absolutely amazing, and you were spot on with your direction. It turned out great. It is a new family meal. Keep them coming.

[freitasex]

@sunsetmj1978

You just made me *smile*

I have to agree with you that this is fantastic.

Some of my recipes/videos are better than others and this one is in the top 10.

I have another one coming up soon... that is extremely good.

It is short ribs (beef short ribs)

I hope to have it up maybe this weekend.

Thank you so much for your compliment :)

[sunsetmj1978]

Learning about cooking lamb shanks. I passed up three previous videos of very reputable chefs (mostly food shows), recipes were too over my head. Anyways, I stopped here and stayed! You killed it with the mash potatoes and reduced gravy. I am now sold and I will be making this tonight. Got huge lamb shanks on sale and needed to know how to make them. I know this will be good! Excellent! Please keep on cooking :) I will post back when I make them and let you know how they turned out.

@sunsetmj1978

Well, wow, thank you!

I must admit that this is one of my favorite videos one here, and it amazes me that I have so few views.

I do hope to hear from you about what you think, thanks again!

[marcmantione]

Did the same thing I keep it on my stove top it's in the 1 hour it sucks when u hav to wait I dusted them then browned it

[dnycguy9]

you're not just a good cook, you're a naturally talented good cook -- although that talent must have come from somewhere/someone. will make this tonight for my mom, my biggest source of inspiration, talent, and taste in great food!

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR INSPIRATION, TOO!!

[freitasex]

@dnycguy9

I hope you do make this!

One of my favorite things.

[bluemeanieado]

[freitasex]

@bluemeanieado

Thank you very much :)

[bluemeanieado]

am cooking now just bout finished reducing smells fuking fantastic will reply back after we have eaten

[freitasex]

@bluemeanieado

I wish I was there!

Wow, excellent :)

[Schnappi1936]

Think lamb shanks are the most tenderist part of the lamb,i usually add some well soaked pearl barley with that dish.

[freitasex]

@Schnappi1936

I highly recommend that you make this, it is so good and pearl barley sounds very nice as well, thanks!

[metalton]

You inspired me to try and cook something that is completely out of my comfort zone im gonna try it with beef shanks i was just wondering what kind of pot is it you have is it like one of those you can get at smart and final i always see they use dutch ovens to make that kind of stuff wich is another reason ive never attempted to try making something like that .

Im new to cooking and just trying to equip my pathetic kitchen

thats if 2 frying pans and a pot is concidered a kitchen lol

[freitasex]

The pot is one that I bought online.

It is an AllClad pot, that really is not a dutch oven, but I did use it as a dutch oven for the meal.

I think any large pot with a lid would work as long as there are no plastic handles or plastic anything on the pot or lid.

Good luck and you should make this or your beef shanks.

You can do it!

[Safet]

Couldn't you continue to cook that on the top of the stove?

[freitasex]

Yes you can cook on the stove, but I wanted to warm up the kitchen!

[Safet]

Why are you adding a wine?

[freitasex]

Wine adds a lot of flavor!

[scent007]

this is so good but with out the wine there will not be a problem ?? and um big lamp fan :) .. when u hit the monitor by accident i felt that i was hit in the back of my head :P:D

[freitasex]

No wine no problem, it does add some great taste though.

Sorry about hitting you on your head :(

[Jeerdin]

Looks GREAT! I'd prob love to have that at like a nice family get together. Seems like a great meal for a big group!

Or even a meal to pig out on by yourself :P

As always, great cooking :) lol

[freitasex]

This was dinner for two.

You could do up to 6 shanks for 6 people using the same amount of ingredients.

Thank you Jordan.

[YMSFSFNDS]

did u eat u pet goat

[freitasex]

Well, everybody that was going to take him was going to eat him, so I ate him LOL.

I was renting this old house with a barn and the owner decided to take the barn down, so I had to get rid of Alfalfa, poor guy.

[YMSFSFNDS]

that sux so bad i really hate to see em die except eating em!

[freitasex]

I almost did not tell you.

[fezan84]

You ate your pet goat? Lol, when did you have a pet goat? Storytime please!

[freitasex]

Years ago I used to rent an old farm house complete with a barn.

I was asked by a friend if I would like a young goat.

I had the 4 month old goat for perhaps a month.

The landlord decided to tear down the old barn for its wood.

Poor Alfalfa would be getting rained on because the 1st to go was the roof.

I tried to find Alfalfa a new home, but everybody that would take him was going to eat him.

So I took him to a local place that butchered him and cut him up into different roasts & such :(

[fezan84]

Aw man, poor Alfalfa =[

I love goats/lambs/sheep, for a while I couldn't eat any of those meats because I liked the animal too much. I still like them and plan to have one as a pet one day, but I do like the meat now too. I hope you enjoyed Alfalfa both in life and in entree =]

[sverebebe]

I have to buy a new monitor,i ate it :) Great cooking Freita :)

[freitasex]

LOL, thank you!

[karenS45]

Looks great!

[freitasex]

It is one of my better videos, thanks!

[torinofastcars]

Why would'nt you want to eat the vegges you cooked it with? Too soggy?

Looks fantastic!

[freitasex]

The veggies were only celery and 2 carrots along with the onion.

I only used them to flavor the gravy, the gravy was the bomb.

[ToxRoxDu]

HOME RUN! Hit that one out of he park...

Excellent.

[freitasex]

They were delicious if I may say that.

Thank you my friend!

[DDog340]

My dad makes this but i think your looks amazing!

I want you to come over to my house RIGHT NOW! :)

[freitasex]

Now you can make it for your dad Dustin!

I am on my way over now. LOL

[regamom3]

Very yummy!!!  I love lamb and will try the recipe soon. I didn't watch the butterfinger cake because of the nut allergies in my home, but butterfingers were one of my favs:( Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[freitasex]

They turned out so tender, like a wonderful tender pot roast, only this was lamb, I imagine if your pot is large enough that you could do this with a leg of lamb.

[YMSFSFNDS]

hey is lamb meat tough or is that goat meat?

[freitasex]

Lamb is pretty tough as they are pretty active.

No, it is NOT goat, but I have eaten goat before.

I used to have a pet goat years ago.

[GreatGig1]

I haven't had lamb for a LONG time! This looks like I need to get some lamb now!! I could almost smell that cooking...YUM! Falling off the bone delicious! :-) What a great idea to cook the rice in the juices!

I think I forgot to get back to you on your spicy chicken sandwich recipe! It was sooooooooooooo good!! It's a keeper for me for sure! :-)

[freitasex]

Excellent that you liked the chicken sandwich!

But this is way better than that !

[Perroquet51]

Fabulicious!

[GreatGig1]

Hey...we were just talking about lamb, and bingo...here is a recipe! Looks like a good one to try! :-)

[freitasex]

That is what I think when I see a rant video of yours!

Please make a cooking video someday!

[bashen745]

Mmm shanks =-O

[freitasex]

Your comment made me smile.

Thank you :D

[fezan84]

You must ship some to me! Right now!!

[freitasex]

[mpenny226]

[freitasex]

Gosh... you have to look harder, this was really really good.

I know that the final plate was not impressive, but this was excellent, one of my best uploads.

[2Feet1Wheel]

i thought it looked delicious. i wish i had a plate myself right now. i could taste it. i will look harder!

[freitasex]

You can also do a beef roast the same method and be happy without the shanks.

I am so freakin happy that you are doing videos now!

[ThatFunnyMann]

Well Still No Camera But Working On Getting A Job To Change That. Keep Up The Good Work

[willsmine]

[avhcbeaver1]

[freitasex]

Thank you, you are awesome!

[wachalookingfour]

So when you cook do you listen to the music that is in your videos? Because when i cook i usually listen to some Korn, Marilyn Manson, or Disturbed.

[freitasex]

Oh, no... hell no..

I add the music when editing.

I just try to add music that is "free" and is about the same length as the video... I mostly use freeplaymusic com.

[ThatFunnyMann]

Im Disappointed I Dont Have A Stove In My Dorm

[freitasex]

Ryan!

I hope that you are doing okay!

Man .... you are like my FAV subscription and I hope that you make a video soon!

[freitasex]

If you like Lamb at all.... you have to make this!
