Hi Karen!

It has finally started to cool down a bit and I am thinking of winter food ideas. Going through my freezer I realized I still have some frozen oxtail I bought at the end of summer for cheap thinking I would freeze it and figure out what to do with it later. It was 100+ degrees at the time. Now I am ready to think of savory foods, have any ideas? I have never made oxtail before and thought soup would be good, but not sure.

I have a crock pot too if that helps

Thanks
Kellie

The best resource for recipes for unusual stuff, IMO, is Food Network.com You can put in any ingredient (oxtails) and come up with a huge list of all kinds of awesome recipes. It is one of my favorite shows, too.

Usually I just find a way to low carb whatever I find, which isn't that hard to do.

This one, for example sounds yummy but naturally you would skip the buttered rice part of the meal:
Michael's Braised Oxtails

Have fun and bon appetit

This looks good. I can replace the rice with cauli-rice

My mother made some ox tail soup the other day. All I know is that she put in the ox tails, cabbage, onions and tomatoes in a huge pot with some salt and pepper and voila!

Oxtails...wonderful stuff. Brown it and then cover with broth/water and cook it low and slow. You can vary the seasonings any way you want, spicy/hot or mild. Make sure to use a at least a bay leaf, onions, and garlic.

I love Oxtails, but haven't had them in a LONG time. This recipe for red wine braised Oxtails from epicurious is pretty close to the way we used to make it.http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/14520

Wow, I think I just figured out what I am making for dinner this weekend.
