This was AWESOME!!! My husband loved it and he is VERY picky. It was simple and delicious - I followed the recipe exactly and would do so again. I cooked to 170 degrees and it was still very moist and tender.

This was a good recipe to try if you want something different. I made it because I had some cooked lentils to use up and I did an "ingredient search" and decided to try it. I do not have a taste for middle eastern cuisine, or else I probably would have rated this as five stars, because it was easy and turned out really well. I loved the meat on the shanks, but there was too much gristle to pick around for my taste. Also, it did take longer than 20 minutes prep time - more like 45 for me, but maybe I'm just slow :o) Thanks for the recipe, though - my husband and I both enjoyed something a little different!

Donna you are awesome! This is the third recipe that I have tried of yours in a week and I was not disappointed! It was perfectly delicious made exactly as the recipe states. The only thing I would do differently next time is cut the meat into smaller pieces so that you don't have to cut it up when you are eating it. Also, I would have stirred it a little more as I was simmering, because some of the beef got a little burned at the bottom of the pot. It was still delicious, though! Keep em' coming!
