Directions
Smothered Oxtails over Spinach and Sweet Corn Mash, The meat on an oxtail is prized for the amount of flavor it contains This is one of dh’s favorite dishes!, I love oxtails, so I was very happy to see a different way of making them posted here While we really enjoyed the flavor of the meat, I have to say that I wasn’t too crazy about the potatoes Next time I think I would make the oxtails the day before, refrigerate overnight, and skim the fat off before reheating and serving Made for ZWT6
