Try substituting beef short ribs for the oxtail and follow the same (or similar) recipe.

Good tip. I will try that. The stock from the Oxtail is beautiful. Love the gelatinous texture of it.

Big fan of Oxtail, great flavor and makes superb stock (just like Brad said) so tender and soooo good.
Thanks for posting

I see your a Floyd fan Del1r1um. Dark Side of the Moon is probably my most played album. Especially love 'Time'. I think as you get older the lyrics to it gain meaning. I think it sums up my life, and many other lives too to a tee.

Infact i'm gonna post it for the uninitiated.

"Time"

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field, tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
And hear the softly spoken magic spell

I'm waiting for my daughter to wise up and listem to pink floyd lol She has taken all my other CDs... but she aint getting the albums just yet /grrrrr

The basic recipe that I tinker with is the Good Eats Beef Stew recipe. The night before, I'll usually pop in thyme and 5ish cloves of garlic, in addition to the tomato paste, vinegar, and worcestershire he calls for. The next day in the pot, potatoes and onions primarily, along with a couple bay leaves and whatever beer I happen to be drinking at the time. Always lots of pepper, too. I'm going to be trying your ox tail recipe with it soon I hope!

I know what you mean. Nobody touches my vinyl except me. Ribs and oxtail. Now there's a good idea. Cheers
