Hello everyone
Today I am going to share with you a "Braised Oxtail in Red Wine"
Here is 1kg of fresh oxtail
And 750ml of red wine

200g of celery
300g of carrots
500g of tomatoes
And 1 onion
This is sun dried tomatoes in oil

About 2 to 3 tablespoons of
Some spices
Rosemary
Bay leaves
Garlic cloves
And shallots
Scissor the sun dried tomatoes
Boil and peel the tomatoes
And then cut them into cubes
Act in this way if don't peel them
Cut them into large pieces.
After the braising
The tomato outer skin will be loosened
Then take the skin out
Blanch the oxtail
Sprinkle a bit of flour on the oxtail
Pour in a bit of cooking oil
Pan-fry the oxtail
Until it is in golden colour then scoop out
There is still a little of oil residue
It is OK to use this oil residue without pouring in more cooking oil
Sauté garlic cloves and shallots
