Oxtail Ragu

Recipes

Just a great cold weather dish.

Ingredients

  1. 6 large oxtail (also works well with short ribs)
  2. 2 lbs pork rib tips (use any pork, I like bone in for flavor)
  3. 4 cups water or stock
  4. 1 carrot diced
  5. 1 medium yellow onion diced
  6. 4 stalks celery diced
  7. 3 tbsp chopped garlic
  8. 1 cup white wine (dry white works great)
  9. 1 tbsp crushed red pepper
  10. 1 small can tomato paste
  11. 4 oz fresh basil (or 1 oz dry)
  12. 2 tbsp sugar (optional)

  2. After your oxtail and pork is cooked remove the bones, save the liquid.

  3. In a pot on medium heat, add a little oil or butter whichever you prefer and start sauteing your carrots, celery and onions until softened.

  4. Add your garlic and cook for another 2 mins.

  5. Add your white wine and reduce until almost evaporated.
