    I added just a little Gravy Master at the end to give the stew a deeper brown golden color. This is a simple and delicious recipe.

    Okay, people, got a few questions and I hope to see some responses.

    First, it should be sprig of thyme, not spring.

    Now I left out the tomatoes and I love how it came out the first time. I’m making another pot as I type. I am curious whether others are draining the beans or not. I drained and rinsed mine the first time, but this time I may use the beans undrained just to see how that works out. I’m just very careful with oxtail recipes because they take so long to make that if they’re not good, it’s a shame to not eat the fruits (or meat, in this case) of my labor.

    Also, I skip the bacon and use a little Jamon instead, and I add a bay leaf.

    They were ridiculously good. I mean, really, really good. Spooned some over Jasmine rice and . . . ahhh, sweet heaven.

    This is one of my very favorite oxtail recipes and I’ve tried quite a few. This is the one!

    Oh! And instead of sprinkling in some pepper, I put in a small handful of whole peppercorns for a fresher pepper taste.

    So what are you doing with this recipe??

    I have been surfing online more than 3 hours nowadays, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is beautiful price enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the web will probably be a lot more helpful than ever before.

    Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any assistance is very much appreciated. Kreditrechner Immobilien

Anyhow, if you have any ideas or techniques for new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic but I just needed to ask. Many thanks! Haus Finanzieren

    Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your website? My website is in the exact same niche as yours and my users would certainly benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this okay with you. Thanks a lot!

  24. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Essen Kohlenhydratearme rezepte ohne kohlenhydrate
