I followed the recipe exactly and the results were disappointing. The lamb shanks were tough and the lemon risotto was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. The lamb shanks were fall-off-the-bone tender and the lemon risotto was creamy and flavorful. I think I'll try making it again with a different type of meat.

This dish was a hit with my family! The lamb shanks were fall-apart tender and the lemon risotto was creamy and flavorful. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more lemon zest to the risotto.
