Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. oxtail - the good sized rings; avoid if you can the little bits from the end of the tail.
- some plain flour (about half a cup would do).
- 3 cloves
- 1 stalk celery, chopped up small
Directions:
- Trim the meat of excess fat and cut it up into chunks.
- Coat the meat in the flour.
- In a frying pan, heat up the beef dripping (or oil).
- Brown the meat very quickly in batches over a high heat.
- Remove from the fat and drain on kitchen paper.
- Turn the heat down to low/moderate.
- Add the onions and fry gently until golden (about 8-10 minutes).
- Sprinkle in the 2 tbsp. flour. Mix well and brown lightly.
- Slowly add the beef stock and mix in thoroughly. The soup should start to thicken.
- Stir in the tomato puree.
- Add the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the bay leaf, cloves and parsley (it's best to tie them up in a piece of muslin cloth so it's easier to remove them later).
- Return the meat to the pot, cover and simmer for 3 hours until the meat is really tender and falling off the bone.
- Let it cool a bit and remove the bay leaf, cloves and parsley.
- Separate the meat from the bones, cut in bite-size pieces and return to the pot.
- Add the carrots and celery.
- Cover and simmer for another 20 minutes.
- It's ready to serve now but I prefer to let the soup go cold, refrigerate overnight and remove the solid fat from the top, and serve next day.
