With all the bone and richness that these ribs have, it is worth the trouble to braise them to deliver a good and tasty liquor with which a sauce can be made.

Melissa’s Rich & Warming Slow-Cooked Oxtail Curry
Cooks in 4 Hours Difficulty MediumCurry dishes are hugely popular in Jamaica, thanks to the indentured servants to who arrived after emancipation in the early 19th century to make up the labour shortfall once slavery had been abolished. Curry goat and curry chicken are the best-known dishes, but Curry Oxtail is a close contender. It’s a stunning dish, one that is best started a few days before you intend to eat it.
Côte de Boeuf with Salmoriglio Sauce
My cote de boeuf recipe, paired with the southern Italian salmoriglio sauce, is quite possibly my favourite way to dress this delicious cut of beef. On hot summer days, it’s far preferable to a heavy peppercorn or mushroom sauce. The aroma of a cote de boeuf sizzling over wood, topped with freshly pounded salmoriglio, is pure heaven!
