Herby venison shank ragù

Having a slow-cooked ragù in the freezer makes weeknight dishes a doddle. This one highlights the incredible flavour of venison, eschewing tomatoes in favour of lots of herbs. Great with pasta, but equally good on a bed of polenta or mashed potato.

Before you start
This recipe is easily doubled – just make sure your pan is large enough to fit 6 shanks. Reduce the liquid in step 3 for a little longer to get a rich ragù consistency.
To make ahead, make up to the end of step 3, remove the bay and any bones, shred the meat, divide into portions, then cool completely. Cover and keep in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost and reheat, adding a splash of water to the pan as you do do.
