1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

2. Oil and season the shanks all over with salt and pepper.

3. On a parchment lined sheet pan, roast the shanks for 12 to 15 minutes until nicely browned. Remove the shanks and set aside. Put a small stock pot over medium heat add oil, add the carrot, onion, celery and thyme leaves and cook, stirring regularly, until golden brown and slightly softened, 8 to 10 minutes.

4. Add wine and reduce by half. Add the tomato sauce, chicken stock and bring to a boil. Place shanks back into pan, making sure they are submerged at least halfway; if necessary add more stock.

5. Cover the pan with tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil. Place in a 300 degree oven for 2 to 3 hours and cook until meat is nearly falling off the bone.

6. Remove the casserole from the oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving with Gremolata.
