With autumn dwindling slowly into winter, all we are looking for is a bowl of comfort food. Combine the good food with a good snuggle under a cosy blanket on the couch, and we are officially on Planet Relaxation. This slow-cooked oxtail stew is an exceptionally delicious dish that ticks all the boxes for a hearty meal.
The trick is to cook oxtail is slowly until the meat literally falls off the bone and melt like the butter in your mouth.
This recipe is perfect for inviting some friends over as it serves eight people. And if you have some slow-cooked oxtail stew leftovers, simply keep it for the next day. After the rich flavours had time to infuse even more, the oxtail stew will taste even better!
I’ve been cooking lamb shanks for decades. Last weekend I tried a new way with them, using the sweeter end of the spice palette. Oh my. This will be my new benchmark.
