4 tbsp olive oil

Handy Hint

This recipe can be halved to serve 2 people, delicious for dinner parties when cooking ahead. Serve crusty garlic bread and baby new potatoes.

Method

1. If using a conventional oven preheat to 150C/Gas mark 2.
2. Dust the oxtail with flour and season well with salt & black pepper. Pour the olive oil into a large flameproof casserole dish set over a high heat. Add the oxtail in small batches and quickly seal on all sides, cooking until the meat begins to brown.
Remove each batch and transfer to a plate and repeat until all meat browned and sealed.
3. Once all meat browned return to the casserole and pour over wine and Guinness add the thyme/garlic/shallots and bring to boil.
4. Put all ingredients into slow cooker and leave for 6/8/hrs or over night/cook slowly in oven in a casserole dish complete with lid slowly for 4/5 hrs until meat is tender.
5. Remove from oven/slowcooker and add chopped parsley & butter.
