1
Heat the butter in a heavy enameled casserole. Roll the shanks in seasoned flour and brown them thoroughly, turning them several times. Stand the shanks upright, so that the marrow in the bones will not fall out as the shanks cook. Pour the wine over them and cook uncovered for about five minutes. Add the hot stock, cover the pan and cook for about one hour or until the meat is tender.

Ten minutes before serving, combine the parsley, garlic, and lemon peel, and sprinkle the mixture over the bones. Cook 5 minutes longer. Check the sauce: if it is too thick, add a little more hot stock and butter, and blend well; if it is too thick, thicken it with about 1 tablespoon of butter and 1/2 tablespoon of flour kneded into a smooth paste.

Risotta alla milanese is the traditional accompaniement.
