I posted this photo on Instagram and people asked for the recipe a lot, but I hadn’t prepared myself to turn it into a post, so I didn’t take photos with the Canon, just with my cell phone, but even without very good photos I’m going to share the recipe because it really It was delicious!
There are several ways to prepare oxtail, but this is the one I like best. Since the tail has a lot of bones, when buying, you count half a kilo per person. I made 1.5 kilos because when it comes to oxtails here we really stick our fingers in the jackfruit hahahaha.
First I remove the excess fat from the outside of the pieces, then I put them in a pan, add a bay leaf, 2 tablespoons of vinegar (it can be any) and let it boil for 30 minutes. I remove the foam that forms on the surface, drain the pieces and reserve the water.
In the pressure cooker, I sauté 1 large chopped onion, 3 chopped garlic cloves, add the pieces of meat, sauté them, add 2 chopped seedless tomatoes.
Now it’s time to season it however you prefer. I add a little paprika, pepper, herbs, everything I see hahahaha. Add salt (approximately 1 dessert spoon). I cover it with the cooking water that I reserved and let it come to pressure. After gaining pressure, I lower the heat and leave for 35 minutes. I turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally.
When you open the pan, don’t be alarmed, there will be a layer of oil on the surface because the fat in the pieces will melt. If you want to serve the pieces whole, remove them from the sauce, set aside and place the sauce in the freezer (15 minutes) or refrigerator (40 minutes). The fat will solidify, turning into a whitish layer like butter on the surface. Then you can easily remove it and discard it. Then return the pieces back to the sauce and heat everything. It’s light that way.
I like to roughly remove the meat from the bone and shred it, only then I mix in a little sauce, like a ragu.
I served it over a risotto, it’s the same recipe as the saffron risotto (see here), but I also used a little curry. It was delicious!
