The mention of oxtail makes many people twitch their noses (I was one of those people!) but it is, in fact a really delicious and nutritious part of the ox. Since it is a continuation of the vertebral column, its marrow is rich in iron. Oxtails tend to be fatty but my recipe tells you how to get rid of most of the fat. Oxtail stew involves a lot of patience, but the efforts are rewarding. I thank my aunt, Suchitra Mami, for introducing me to this awesome dish!
