Recipe required to cook an oxtail in a slow cooker.?
Recomended herbs etc would be helpful.
Answers:
Oxtail is lovely to slow cook. I flour the pieces of oxtail and fry so they get a nice colour on them and put them in the slow cooker with a large diced onion, carrot and celery.
You will need enough liquid to cover, usually about a pint into which you have stirred 2 tablespoons of tomato puree, an Oxo cube, thyme and a bay leaf. A good splash of Worcester sauce will work well and enrich the flavours.
Switch the cooker to auto and leave for at least 6 hours.
add fresh parsley, garlic, black and red peppers. and onions. a dash of oregano and some seasoned salt.and a teaspoon of sugar. simmer until meat is tender (3-5 hours)
delicious! I like to cook my oxtails in the oven and serve with some rice.
