1. 1Season the shanks all over with salt and pepper. For deeper flavor, brown them in a hot oiled skillet for 3–4 minutes per side.
2. 2Place the onion in a 6-quart slow cooker and set the shanks on top.
3. 3Whisk the wine, broth, tomato paste, garlic and rosemary together and pour over the shanks.
4. 4Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours, until the meat is very tender and pulls away from the bone.
5. 5Move the shanks to a platter, skim the fat from the sauce and simmer it in a saucepan for 8–10 minutes to thicken slightly.
6. 6Spoon the sauce over the shanks and serve with mashed potatoes. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours for up to 3–4 days and reheat to 165°F.
