  • 1 tbls. Herbs de Provence
  • 2 cups dry red wine
  • 3 cups chicken stock

directions

  • 1

    Sprinkle shanks with salt and brown on all sides in oil. (You will have to do this in batches.)

  • 2

    Set shanks aside until all are browned.

  • 3

    Add vegetables, tomato paste and herbs to oil left in pan. Saute to soften (5 minutes). Add wine and stock.

  • 4

    Bring liquid to simmer.

  • 5

    Place shanks in a large roasting pan or any pan that will hold shanks in single layer.

  • 6

    Add liquid and vegetables and sprinkle with more Herbes de Provence.

  • 7

    Cover pan and cook at 350° for about 2 hours. If not serving immediately, turn oven down to 250° and keep shanks covered.

  • 8

    Serve over soft polenta or risotto, spooning vegetables and sauce around each shank.

  • 9

    Note: the shanks should literally be falling off the bone.
