| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Using a large black frying pan, brown the seasoned oxtails in the oil. You will need to do this in about 3 batches.
|
2. Remove the meat to a 6- to 8-quart heavy stove-top pot. Leave the oil in the frying pan and saute the celery, onion, carrots, garlic, shallots, and parsley.
|
3. When the onions are clear add the flour and stir in well. Saute a few minutes longer and add the remaining ingredients, along with the oxtails, except the salt and pepper.
|
4. Simmer partially covered for 2 hours, or until tender. Stir occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste as the dish finishes.
