Ox-Tail Soup...
So I promised to put this up, I'll get around to putting up the Lentil Soup which was the YUM!
Right so ox-tail soup... oh and in case you didn't know it's cow tail and you can almost always find it for cheep in the butcher shop.
Ox-tail Soup
2 Ox-tail.
2Tbl Seaseme Seed Oil.
Salt and Pepper.
Marinate for at least a coupe of hours if not over night.
Then brown thoroughly in a stock pot with a bit of oil.
Set aside.
1 large Onion, diced.
2 Carrots, diced.
2 stalks Celery, diced.
2 Tomatoes (no seeds please), chopped.
Saute till tender in the same pan you did the ox-tail in,
add a bit of canola if you need to.
Then add...
2 inch knob of Ginger, crushed/ sliced whatever.
2 Star Anise.
2 Bay Leaves.
2Q Beef Broth.
Toss the ox-tails back in and give it all a good boil.
Scum off the scummy bits.
Simmer two hours... yeah you heard two hours, scum it now and then, but mostly leave it the hell alone.
...two hours later...
(Said with bad french accent)
Pull out the meat, set aside.
Strain out the broth back into the pot, or another if you want to wash another pot.
Return meat to pot bring up to boil and serve with rice.
