Braised Oxtails with Chilli Beans

I first enjoyed this dish at the home of a good friend and great home cook – it's satisfying comfort food that has everyone sucking bones and licking fingers.

Prep time:
20 mins + soaking of beans
Cook time:
4 hours
Serves:
8
  • 2½kg oxtails (18-24 pieces), trimmed
  • salt and ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp flavourless oil, eg grapeseed
  • 2 large onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tbsp grated root ginger
  • ¾ cup tomato ketchup
  • ⅓ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ⅔ cup cider vinegar or rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper or more, to taste
  • 3 x 400g cans Italian tomatoes in juice, chopped
  • 2½ cups dried red kidney beans, soaked
  • chopped parsley, to garnish

Boil soaked beans in plenty of fresh water for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and drain off all but 2 cups of liquid. While beans boil, heat oven to 220°C. Season oxtails with salt and pepper and spread out in a large roasting dish. Roast about 40 minutes or until oxtails start to brown. Transfer to a large casserole or baking dish, discarding fat.

While oxtails roast, heat oil in a large, heavy pot and cook onions over a moderately low heat, stirring often, until softened. Stir in the beans and the reserved 2 cups of their cooking liquid along with all the remaining ingredients except parsley. Simmer 5 minutes. Transfer to casserole dish with oxtails. Lower oven temperature to 160°C. Cover casserole and bake 2½ hours. 

Chill overnight or longer, then remove any fat that sits on top. To reheat, bring back to room temperature then cook 1 hour at 160°C. Serve with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
