3. 3Soften the chopped onion and carrot in the same pan, then deglaze with the white wine.
4. 4Return the shanks, add stock to come halfway up, cover, and braise gently for 1.5–2 hours until fork-tender.

6. 6Scatter the gremolata over the shanks just before serving with the pan sauce spooned over.
