Rabo de Toro Con Rioja by Sam and Sam Clark from Casa Moro
Rabo de toro is something one sees quite a lot in Spain.Ìý Like many stews, it should be cooked the day before, if possible, as the flavours definitely improve with age.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Serves 4-6

Ingredients
Ìý

5 black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
4 sprigs fresh thyme

Method
Ìý
1.Ìý ÌýThe day before serving, heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium to high heat.
2.Ìý ÌýSeason the oxtail pieces with salt & pepper & brown well on all sides – you will probably need to do this in two batches.
3.Ìý ÌýRemove the oxtail from the pan & pour off the excess fat before adding the carrot, onion & celery.
4.Ìý ÌýFry for 5 mins until starting to colour, then add the aromatics (peppercorns, bay, thyme, cloves & garlic) & fry for 2 mins more.
5.Ìý ÌýReturn the oxtail to the pan, add the Rioja & parsley stalks, & cover with water.
6.Ìý ÌýBring to a gently simmer, reduce the heat to low & cook until tender – about 2hrs, or longer if necessary, adding water if the liquids boil down below the top of the meat.
7.Ìý ÌýSeason.Ìý The meat is ready when it can be easily pulled from the bone, but not so soft as to fall off of its own accord.
8.Ìý ÌýTransfer the oxtail to a bowl or suitable container & strain the juices through a sieve over the meat.
9.ÌýÌýÌýCool & put in the fridge overnight.
10. On the day of eating remove, as much fat as possible from the chilled oxtail.
11. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium to high heat.
12. When hot, add the onion & carrot & cook for about 10 mins until they begin to caramelise, stirring occasionally.
13. Add the chorizo & fry for 5 more mins.
14. Now stir in the flour, fry for a couple more mins & add the paprikas, fennel seeds & tomato puree.
15. Add the oxtail with its stock to the pan & season with salt.
16. Bring to a simmer & cook for 15 mins.
17. Serve with mashed potato or, as is usual in Spain, with fried potatoes.Ìý

Nigel's Top Tip
- Cooking chorizo is easy to get hold of nowadays, but you'd never eat it as normal chorizo, as its designed for cooking (there's a clue in the name) when it releases it's tantalising aromatic oils. Ìý
