Methods

Step 1.
Wash and trim the fats of the oxtails, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Next, season them with salt and pepper.

Step 2.
Spread flour on a tray, season and coat the oxtails with flour, then put them aside.

Step 3.
Heat oxtails in 20ml of oil in a large, deep pot over medium fire, with 10 minutes on each side until dark brown. Add extra oil if the pot looks
dry at any point during browning. Browning time differs according to the size of the oxtail, then set them aside.
Step 4.

Stir fry onions, garlic, carrots and celery in another pot. Add a little extra oil if necessary, cook gently for 10 minutes until softened and lightly
browned, stirring occasionally.

Step 5.
Lower the heat, add tomato paste, making sure all the vegetables are evenly coated. Next, add the browned oxtail, thyme, bay leaves, wine,
beef or chicken stock, potatoes and tomatoes.

Step 6.
Season with salt and pepper, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. After 3 hours, the meat should be soft and the sauce, thick. Skim any
fat that has pooled on the surface of the sauce.
Step 7.
To thicken the sauce, remove some potatoes, blend it with some sauce and pour it back into the pot.

Step 8.
Serve the oxtail and vegetables with gravy, then serve with chopped parsley and bread.
