Did you know that Nelson Mandela's favourite dish was oxtail? Oxtail is traditionally seen as ‘offal’ and has a rich flavour and gelatinous texture. It is an international favourite that is also loved locally. Slow cooking or using a pressure cooker is essential to getting the perfect result. This is an example of how important cooking methods are. The method needs to match the produce to get the perfect product. Due to the high fat content, this is more of a ‘treat meal’ and should be paired with high-fibre sides.
