Cooking with oxtail

helcat26

I brown oxtail, then either cook it for a couple of hours in red wine with bay leaf, dash of balsamic, tomato puree and splash of Worcester sauce on the stove top with a lid on, or in the oven. If in a hurry I do it in the pressure cooker.
Then you need to pick it carefully to get rid of bone and gristle.


I like it with gnocchi or pasta. Couple of deep fried sage leaves to garnish
Hope this helps.

Add red chilli slices (or if that's a bit too spicy for you, leave a couple of red chillies whole but poke them with a knife a couple of times), some ginger and garlic softened in a pan, chopped spring onions (including all the green), a bunch of thyme and a good pinch of Allspice. If it's not already fully cooked and has its own liquid, a tin of chopped tomatoes/one of sieved tomatoes, plus one of water works well, if it is, a massive slug of tomato puree (half a tube). A good squeeze of lemon juice is optional, but I like it.

Feel free to chuck in carrots, celery and potato as you see fit. And/or dumplings.
