Cooking

My mother loves oxtail. I never really got why. Perhaps its because it is difficult to find. After-all one ox, one tail. Now I love it and I am pretty sure it has something to do with my missing home.

The oxtail we get here is already sliced for you. It does have a lot of fat around it which is really not good for you. I do not trim it, I cook it down as much as I can and skim off the excess fat. I do not add any extra oils to this dish, I just let the meat cook in its own fat. The fat and bones actually add to the flavour of the meat.
