Braised Curried Oxtail and Down-Home Sides
Chef Govind Armstrong visits Home & Family to cook up a delicious soul food dish in honor of Black History month. Govind explains that oxtail is the tail of the cow and is an inexpensive cut of meat that requires slow cooking. Braising is the process of cooking meat slowly in moisture to break down the structure. The chef shares his love of spices, and notes that they serve as a reminder of cultural background. His family is from the Caribbean where spices from around the world were traded. This recipe uses allepo (a crushed red pepper), turmeric, cumin and curry. He notes also that grinding seeds produces a more pungent piece blend than pre-ground mixtures.
