HINTS & TIPS

Ask your butcher to “French” the shanks for you.
(It assists with presentation and ensures the top of the bone comes out clean)
For something different you can pull the meat off the bone and add it to pasta or even use it as the base for a pie – You can use the same recipe for veal shanks, they tend to be a little bigger so add an extra 45 mins to the cook time
