Ingredients
Oxtail Soup
- Ingredients
- 2 onions
- 1 carrot
- 2 sticks Celery
- ½ stalk Leeks
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 kilograms Oxtail (cut into pieces)
- 2 Tbsps vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp Tomato paste
- 250 milliliters dry white wine
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp peppercorns
- 75 milliliters sherry
Peel the onion, carrot and celery and cut everything into small cubes. Set about 1/3 of the celery aside. Trim, rinse and chop the leeks. Peel the garlic and cut in half.
Rinse the oxtail pieces, pat dry and sear in hot oil in a pan. Add the onions and cook briefly. Stir in the tomato paste, then add the white wine, bring to a boil and cook until almost all of the liquid is evaporated. Pour in about 1.5 liters (approximately 6 cups) water, thyme, bay leaf and peppercorns and simmer for about 2 hours until the meat pulls away from the bone. Add more water if necessary.
Remove the oxtail pieces from the broth. Pour the broth through a strainer lined with cheesecloth. Degrease and cook the celery for 2-3 minutes. Add the sherry and season with salt and pepper. Return the meat to the broth and serve.
