Braised oxtail, steamed carrots and broccoli.
Back to the diet....
This oxtail was fantastic. Just braising/stewing in a pot of stock or even water makes this melt in the mouth tender and absolutely delicious. It is such a cheap cut of meat, but when cooked right is great. It's very fatty, so you will end up discarding some, not sure health reasons, but for the fact that a big lump of boiled fat just isn't that palatable. So good and so cheap that we'll definitely be revisiting this. It also struck us that this is so tender that, if like us you struggle to get your young children to eat meats because they just can't chew it easily, this might present a real solution.

I would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions and questions so please feel free to comment. Constructive criticism is welcomed, but if you're rude, offensive or a downright pain in the arse to myself or others, you can expect your comment to be a goner!
Also, please comment under your own name, not that of a business/organisation, and don't link to your own site in the comment text. It's not good manners, smacks a bit of spamming and will be gone before you know it.
Other than that, have fun, interact and hopefully between us we can create something worthwhile that will help to improve some lives along the way.....
