Ox Tail

Preparation

Brown the chopped onions in a large pan with the Spanish olive oil. Remove any fat from the ox tail and add to the pan with the carrots, tomatoes, peppers, saffron and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Stir for a few minutes, then add the wine. Cover the pan and simmer for 80-90 minutes. Serve with French fries. The dish will improve if allowed to stand for a few hours. Heat very slowly and add the potatoes just before serving.
