Braised Oxtails with Fresh Pasta & Tomato Gremolata

Yumminess in new places. WHO KNEW about oxtails? Not me! Well, it was a first and super yummy. A little bit cumbersome to work around the bone, a little bit fatty (which I love) and super yummy done in the pressure cooker. Thanks to Will and Alex for coming over and being adventurous! LOVE LOVE to try new things with folks who love food as much as I do. Beautiful presentation with all the veges and the tomato Gremolata was a nice finishing touch. For the first experience with this new food I would say it was delicious. Turns out folks really use to use ox tails, but now the term refers to cow tails. Supposedly good for making soup or stew, I will have to give that a try sometime. Bon appetit!






Cooking note...we did not dredge the meat first. It was all just kind of put in the pressure cooker together and came out delicious. The Tomato Gremolata was just put on room temperature on top of the cooked dish.

Gomashio

What is Gomashio????

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomashio

Wikipedia doesn't mention how delicious it is. Or how really amazingly good for you it is. It benefits digestion, the vascular system, acts as an antacid to help heal anemia,hypoglycemia, multiple sclerosis, and inflammatory diseases associated with an acidic diet, improves energy as well as a number of other hemostatic properties.  Easy to make and delicious used in place of table salt this homemade condiment is an awesome addition to any diet. (I added a small amount of Nori and some dried Shitake mushrooms to mine).

Bon appetit (gochiso-sama)!
