INSTRUCTIONS
Mix flour, chile, salt and pepper and coat oxtails well. In a hot
stock pot, coat bottom with oil and sear oxtails until all sides are
browned. Pull out oxtails and wipe out stock pot.
Saute onions, fennel, celery, carrots, garlic, ginger and lemon grass.
Deglaze with wine and reduce. Add tomatoes, soy, thyme and bay. Add
water to completely cover meat. Check for seasoning; the broth should
taste well seasoned. Bring to boil then simmer on low heat for 3
hours. The meat should fall off of the bone.
Remove oxtails and reduce sauce by 20 percent. Using a hand blender,
puree sauce. Check for seasoning. Serve on top of polenta.
For the Preserved Lemon Polenta: In a saucepan, saute shallots and
ginger in 1 tablespoon of butter. Add polenta, lemons, stock, salt,
pepper and butter. Check for seasoning. Stir well and cover tightly.
Bake in 400 degree oven for 1 hour. A crust will form. Break through
crust for polenta.
