Perfect Oxtail Potjie Recipe – Method
Pack one layer of briquettes onto the coal grid inside your PotjieKing™ and place a couple fire lighters in the bottom section and get that going.
Once the briquettes have stopped smoking, place your Potjie pot onto the PotjieKing™ to heat up.
- Coat the oxtail pieces liberally in seasoned flour.
- Heat the butter and oil in the potjie.
- Brown the meat and set aside.
- Add the prepared onion, garlic, carrot, celery and rosemary and fry until softened.
- Next add the remaining veggies and heat through.
- Now add the meat, followed by the hot stock, tomato paste and wine.
- Cover and simmer gently over moderate heat for 4 hours.
- Close the doors on your PotjieKing™ once the pot is up to cooking temperature for best fuel efficiency.
- Add more wine if the liquid evaporates too rapidly.
- Towards the end if you need to add a briquette or 2 for the home stretch, just slot it in the top door.
- Season to taste and serve with rice, mash, pap or homemade bread.
Eat, drink and be merry.
