Once it is cooked, remove the shanks, wrap them in foil and set them aside.

Place the pot back on the hob and cook to reduce slightly. If the gravy is still lacking consistency, add a little cornflour mixed with cold water to thicken it. If the stock is sufficiently cooked down, it should naturally thicken without the need to add cornflour. Add in the extra salt and pepper, if needed. I like to serve the shanks with buttered potatoes or creamy mash. It is a rich indulgent meal that will be a real treat.
