Ingredients:
1 package oxtails, about 1lb
2 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
2 onions, peeled and roughly chopped.
4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
One can (14oz ) crushed tomatoes
¾ cup chicken broth
½ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt
Half to one bottle red wine, preferably Bordeaux
Instructions:
Sprinkle the oxtails with salt and pepper, heat olive oil in a large pot and brown the oxtails on all sides. Transfer to a plate
Add the onions and garlic to pan, and sauté until onions are tender, around 5 minutes.
Add carrots, then tomatoes with their juice. Add the oxtails back into the pot, and add the rest of the remaining ingredients. Add enough wine to cover the oxtails.
Allow the pot to simmer for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender.
Now, at this point you can either serve the oxtails as is, or you can de-bone them and cut up the meat and serve with spaghetti. If serving with spaghetti,
Bring the cooking mixture up to a boil and cook spaghetti directly in the juices. It allows the juices to thicken up a bit due to the starch from the spaghetti, making a wonderful sauce. After spaghetti is cooked until al dente, serve it with either whole oxtails, or the deboned oxtail pieces, salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with a sprig of parsley. Enjoy!
