Cooking Instructions

To make the oxtail

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a large pot add enough water to just cover the ingredients.
  2. Place in the oven to cook for 2 hours or until tender. Remove the oxtail and discard the rest.

To make the sauce 

  1. For the sauce sauté the onions and garlic in the oil over a medium heat until caramelized. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and cook over a low heat for an hour allowing the sauce to reduce slightly. Also note the chipotle peppers should be hydrated at this point.
  2. Add the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Return to the pan and add enough chocolate to give a hint of cocoa. Stir through.

Heat the oxtail in a pan with a little oil over high heat. Add some of the sauce and toss to coat the oxtail.
