| Oxtail Stew - Main
Cooking Recipes Ingredients:
1/3 cup uncooked white beans
1 tablespoon lard
3 pounds of beef oxtails
3 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and diced
1 medium tomato, diced
2 cups of beef stock
2 cups of water (about)
2 tablespoons ground allspice
salt and pepper to taste
few shots of hot sauce
Cooking Recipes Directions
Soak the beans in cold water overnight OR place beans in a
small saucepan with 1 cup of water and cover. Bring to a boil
and turn of heat. Allow to sit for 1 hour covered with the
heat off.
In a heavy skillet brown the oxtails in lard. Place them in
a large (about 6 quart) stovetop casserole or stockpot. Add
all the remaining ingredients except the water and beans.
Then, add just enough water to cover the contents of the pot,
this should be about 2 cups more or less.
Cover and simmer for 1 ½ hours. Drain the beans and
add to the stock pot. Continue cooking covered for an additional
1 ½ hours. Stir occasionally and add additional water
if necessary, you do not want the pot to dry out. If you like
a thick stew, remove the lid during the last half hour of
cooking. |
