Loved it! The only thing I didn't have was the pancetta so I used bacon instead and I also cooked it at 325 for 4 hours because my shanks were pretty big and it took the extra time to get them tender. I served them with mashed sweet potatoes and chuckwagon corn (corn, red and green bell peppers and onions in the frozen food section). I also left off the chili pepper because spicy dosent agree with hubby. Thank you for another fantastic recipe!

This is my second time making this recipe. Evidently, I forgot to review it the first time I made it. It is so rich in flavor. I served it with mashed potatoes, which I plan to do again tonight. This was a huge hit with my husband and me. Beef shanks are running around $4.99 to $6.99 a pound around here, so I don't buy them often. I will definitely make it again though. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
