Hi Althea, a little advice please. I have been cooking oxtail for years (the long way). I have limited time tomorrow, I don’t have a pressure cooker, can I precook in the microwave for say 30 min @ 900w.
Oh and yes, we do eat oxtail all year round.
Thx a mil!!

Personally I love it with mash with a simple summer dessert like this warm cherry sauce over ice cream is fantastic

I bought oxtail and it is the first time that i am going to cook it – i will try the potjie idea as i am sure it will be the best way to go about cooking it. What will be better to serve it with rice or mash? and what will you recommend for a desert that is perfect for summer not to rich or heavy as the meal it self will be rich?? Any suggestions?

If you have potjie lovers in your church chances are they all have their favorite recipe and all of the equipment. You could perhaps get a sponsor like your local supermarket and feed the homeless who form part of the judging panel. Food, sun, and a warm hearted comunity… can’t ask for much more. Have a great time G

Thanks Althea, we can always do with some expert advice. I like the idea of getting it pre prepared but sometimes you just want to kick back and do the whole therapeutic long braai thing with plenty of beers… you have a great weekend too. G
