I got so excited the other day when I went to the grocery store and found Oxtails on special. giggle. So I bought a couple of packages.
I have no idea how other people make them, but I like them prepared very simply. Two main ingredients, time and a little salt and pepper. That's it.
Oxtails and Onions. Oh wait a minute, I think I have a recipe title. Excuse me for a minute, I'm just going to change it. Done.
As I think I said before, this is so darn simple, and so very, very good. The only real trick to making this, is the time factor. It takes hours, but I guess you could also make it in a crock pot, however, I never have.
I do it the old fashioned way, in a pot on top of the stove for a couple of hours…
