bring mixture to a low simmer. Add the reserved veal shanks,

Degrease the cooking liquid with a fat mop. (Or pour the liquid
into a fat separator and allow the fat to rise to the top. Then
pour the defatted liquid back into the cooked vegetables.)
Stir in reserved chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as
desired.
Serve with pasta, potatoes, or polenta.
