INSTRUCTIONS
This is a delcious Suffolk alternative to the more usual pigs head brawn.
Dust the jointed oxtail with seasoned flour. Melt the butter in a saucepan
and fry the oxtail until lightly browned on all sides. Add the onion,
herbs, seasoning and vinegar, then add sufficient cold water to cover.
Bring to the boil, cover, and simmer for about 4 hours, until the meat
leaves the bones. Gool, then chop the meat, reserving both the bones and
the liquid, but discarding the herbs and onion. Butter a pudding basin.
Hard-boil the egg, shell and slice; arrange the slices decoratively in the
base of the basin. Add the meat. Boil the bones until the liquid has been
reduced to about 1/2 pint. Cool slightly, then strain into the basin. Cover
with a plate or saucer and put in the refrigera- tor to set. Turn out when
completely cold and set and serve sliced, with salad or boiled potatoes and
green peas.
