Triple-cooked oxtail

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 35 minutes

Cooking Time 4 hours

Ingredients

2 kg oxtail
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 T canola oil
8 bay leaves
3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
2 onions, quartered
3 T peppercorns
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce

For the spicy carrot pickle:

2 cups white spirit vinegar
150 g sugar
2 T mild curry powder
1 x 5 cm piece ginger, grated
4 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 red onion, cut into thin petals
4 bay leaves

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pat dry the oxtail with kitchen paper, then season.

2. Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and brown the oxtail in batches.

3. Place the bay leaves, carrots, onions, peppercorns and Worcestershire sauce in a large roasting pan. Add the oxtail and enough water to cover it. Cover with foil and bake for 4 hours, or until the meat on the larger pieces has started to pull from the bone.

4. Remove the oxtail from the pan and strain off the pan juices, discarding the carrots, onions, peppercorns and bay leaves.

5. Place the pan juices in a saucepan and reduce over a medium heat until it resembles a thin gravy.

6. Prepare a braai with hot coals. Place the oxtail on the braai and char, turning often. Once it has formed a crust, baste with the reduced stock.

7. Serve on a large platter with the carrot pickle.

8. To make the carrot pickle, heat the vinegar, sugar, curry powder and ginger in a saucepan over a medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes. While the vinegar is simmering, add the carrots, onion and bay leaves and infuse for 15 minutes, or overnight.
