Add the onion and garlic, cook until soft and pour in about 100 ml (approximately 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) of wine. Bring to a boil. Pour in remaining wine and and return to a boil. Then add beef shanks back to the pan and pour in a little broth. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 2 hours, pouring in more broth as needed.

Meanwhile, peel carrot and parsnip. Dice carrot into cubes of about 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch). Cut parsnips into thick slices, about 1/2 cm (approximately 1/4 inch).
