  • About

Oxtail is an ideal base from which to make a clear soup with a terrific flavour. Drink a glass of fino with it, and call it consommé de queue de boeuf to win a gold star.

Ingredients

  • 1 oxtail, cut into pieces
  • 2 onions, topped and tailed but not peeled
  • 2 carrots, split into 4

Method
