Preparation

Step 1

Place oxtail pieces in a large soup pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 1 1/2 hours. Allow to cool, trim off large pieces of fat and set aside broth.

In another large soup pot, heat oil until smoking and add garlic, onions, apricots, raisins, coriander seeds and paprika and cook until softened and golden brown. Add tomatoes, carrots and red wine and bring to a boil.

Season cooked oxtails with salt and pepper and place in pot with wine mixture. Return to boil, lower heat and simmer 1 1/4 hours, adding retained broth, if necessary, to keep liquid over level of meat.

Turn heat to medium-high and reduce liquid by half, about 10 to 15 minutes. Check for seasoning and serve.
