Preparation Time: 15 Minutes plus overnight chilling
Cooking Time: 3 hrs 15 Minutes
| | Other: | Ingredients: | | Time: 3hrs 15 minutes Difficulty: Easy Serving Size: 6 | - 1 large Oxtail, fat trimmed, cut into pieces
- 60g Butter
- 1 tbsp oil
- 3 stalks Celery, chopped
- 1 onion, stuck with 3 cloves
- 1 carrot, sliced
- 8 peppercorns
- 1 bouquet garni
- 2.5 litres water
- 4 tbsp Sherry
| | Preparation: | - Trim fat from Oxtail and cut into pieces
- Chop celery stalks
- Stick 3 cloves into onion
- Slice carrot
| | Instructions: | - 1. Brown the oxtail in the butter and oil in a large casserole pan then add the prepared vegetables and toss in the cooking juices.
- 2. Add the peppercorns, bouquet garni and water to the casserole pan and season with salt. Bring the pan to the boil and cover. Lower the heat and gently simmer until the meat is tender and falls off the bones. This can take anything up to 3 hours.
- 3. Strain the contents of the pan into a bowl. Cool the cooking liquor and put in the fridge.
- 4. Separate the vegetables and bone from the meat and discard. Divide the meat into small pieces removing the fat and skin. Season the meat and store overnight in the fridge.
- 5. The cooking liquor should become jellified over night, remove the fat from the top. Mix the meat and liquor in a pan and almost bring to the boil. If it needs thickening, mix a small amount of flour into a paste with a splash of the liquid, pour back in and simmer for approximately 5 minutes.
- 6. Add the sherry and serve.

It's beef, with a lamb shank kind of texture. It has loads of flavour, although a bit on the fatty side.

Yup, I don't know if this is a way to explain it, but it tastes 'homey'. Great with extra crusty bread for dipping (although only at home)

It's definitely a comfort food. An oldie but a goodie.
Ann, it's well worth trying out.
