Cow tails for dinner
I have been pretty busy lately. No that is a lie. I have been tired and lazy and playing too many games on my tablet.
I did make some braised oxtail recently. Now don't be snurling up your nose. Oxtail is actually the tail of a cow and contains the richest of meat. It can be expensive but I was fortunate to score a pack of four for $7 thanks to Kroger markdown.
I got the recipe from thespruceeats.com
If you do not own a dutch oven I heartily suggest getting one. I use mine more than any other pot or pan that I own.
You will need:
1 Tb olive oil, 3# of oxtail, 1 onion chopped, 4 garlic cloves chopped. 4 carrots peeled and chopped into rounds. 1 can of tomatoes, chopped. 3/4 C of broth, 1 1/2 t ginger. It calls for 3/4 t of salt, which I felt was too much. I use the Himalayan salt and I cut mine to about 1/4 t. 1/4 t of cayenne and 1/8 t allspice.
Put the oil in the bottom of the Dutch oven, Get it really hot and brown each tail on all sides. As they brown remove them from the pan and set aside.
Once that is done, put the garlic and onion in those hot drippings - you might want to turn the heat down a little, and cook about 7 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.. Stir in the carrots an tomatoes, add your broth and seasonings and bring to a boil.
Remove from the heat and add your tails back in Pop in a 275 oven, covered, for about 2 hours.
This is delicious served over a grain of your choice - rice, quinoa etc. Lay your tails on the bed of grain and cover with the rich pot liquor. My mouth is watering right now as I recall that meal.
