Lamb shanks and ?????

We do pumpkin-everything here because we're on a low-starch diet. So pumpkin mash? Otherwise cauliflower mash is delish. Roasted cauliflower (cauliflower popcorn) is awesome. I love green beans boiled in bone broth but you probably already have gravy from the shanks so just steamed beans?

I often just roast up some butternut pumpkin, beetroot, onion & cauliflower then have some greens. Clearly it's ground hog day around here! But it's yummy

mmmmmm caulifower - cauliflower gratin?? It's so good but so fattening. and pumpkin......

I'm not good with polenta. It's like risotto - it just never works our right for me.

I'm just glad you've ditched your original idea

Braised cabbage?

Actually no, fat isn't fattening so long as it's natural fat (so butter and cream are a-okay) and you stear clear of the carby things like polenta, potatoes, cous-cous, pasta etc.

When the only exercise you've done for a day is a body balance class and a 400m walk everything is fattening

I don't think you can go past potato mash with shanks, but if you want a healthier option how about cauliflower mash, or a cauliflower and parsnip puree?

You really need something of a mash like consistency to squish all those yummy juices into.

I was gonna say cauliflower puree! It's one of my favourites! Or sweet potato puree. Or a vegetable medley puree.

OR roasted cauliflower YUM! Or a roast veg medley like cauliflower, brocolli, spanish onion, carrot, sweet potato, lemon, garlic little bit of parmesan at the end when it comes out...

I'd like to see evidence for that theory.
