Place the veal shanks on their sides so that the meat can fit in the Instant Pot in a single layer

    Meat was not as tender as i had hoped. Was on the dry side. Also recipe was confusing at the end regarding what to do with tomatoe, onions in the pot.

    It lacked a little something so when I reduced the sauce at the end I added about half of the juices drained from the tomatoes back in and reduced it a little more than called for but otherwise it was a great recipe and I’d definitely make it again. I seved it over the classic saffron risotto…perfect pairing.

    I made this by the instructions and meat was tough so I switched it over to roast beef, cooked it for 45 minutes and the meat fell off the bone so the next time I make it I think I’m just going to cook it that way just like you do at the roast beef.

    Cook time way under estimated. Should be @least 6 hrs. Slow cooking not this pots forte! Suggest making your own (or favorite bottled) sauce for tastiest results.

    Why wouldn’t you just use the pressure cook mode and have it done in about an hour and a half? You also get more gelatin out of the shanks to naturally thicken the sauce.

    Would love to use pressure for this recipe. Why isnt it cooked that way rather than slow?
