Serve with cauliflower puree, braised beans or any soft, pillowy, sauce-sucking carb like mash or soft polenta.
To make your shanks go further, you could also pull the meat off the bones and toss it, with its sauce, through pasta - delicious!
LOW CARB: Cauliflower puree makes a good mash substitute; serve a mixed leaf salad, garlicky spinach or green beans on the side.
