  • About

This lovely, rich casserole is better made the day before, and it freezes beautifully.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • Mustard powder
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Method

Season the flour with mustard, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Toss the oxtail pieces in the seasoned flour, then sauté them in a large pan in half of the butter with the carrots, onions, and bouquet garni until they are a good brown color. Moisten with the brandy and set it alight. When the flames die, add the garlic and mix well. Pour in the wine, mix again, and bring to a boil.
