Oxtail
Most people think of oxtail as a type of stew, but the truth is that this ingredient has a long and varied history. Oxtail is actually the tail of an ox, and it has been used in recipes for centuries. The first recorded oxtail recipe dates back to the Roman Empire, when it was used as a filling for pies.
During the Middle Ages, oxtail became a popular flavoring for soups and stews. In England, a traditional oxtail soup recipe includes onions, carrots, celery, and beef stock. The soup is usually thickened with flour or barley and served with dumplings.
Oxtail is also popular in many other countries. In Italy, it is often used in a stew called coda alla vaccinara, which is made with tomatoes, celery, garlic, and red wine. In Jamaica, oxtail is simmered in a curry sauce and served with rice.
