Cut out 2 foil squares and divide the carrots and leeks between each. Fold up the foil to make a bowl. Place the shanks on top of the veg, then carefully pour in the wine. Gather the foil around the bone, pinching it together tightly. Put on a baking tray and roast for 2 hours, until the lamb falls off the bone.
