She writes ..."I like to eat slow-cooked stews ..., as well as other dishes made from tougher cuts of meat left to simmer a long time to bring out their wonderful, tender texture and rich flavor." This "Stifado", stew features hints of cinnamon and orange, and "here I’ve used a nutritious cut — oxtail."
Oxtail needs a slow cooking time – but will reward you with a deep, hearty stew or soup. A perfect dish for the cooler winter and Christmas Season!

Hello, the stew sounds delicious. Looks like deal on the cookbook. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week ahead! I wish you and your a blessed and Merry Christmas!
...great on a cold day!
I love oxtail and stews thanks for sharing this one perfect for a cold winter's night!
My mum used to make oxtail stews often when I was a child but it's something I rarely make these days, a shame really as it's so tasty.
Looks and sounds delicious.
The Christmas Book deal is very good.

I love slow cooked stews, especially in winter.xxx
This looks so good! I think slow cooked meals are so tasty!!
I cook my stew in a slow cooker too. Love that you can start it in the morning and not have to worry about it.
The meat always is so tender too.
Slow cooked meals are a gift. Full of flavour and usually cheap to prepare.
Have a wonderful Christmas.
I will have to say I have never heard of cooking an ox tail and not sure if I want to , but I can see this with stew meat :)
Mom used to make this but not sure what she put in hers. It was good.
Merry Christmas.
That sound good Jan. When we go to Greece a stifado is a meal we always seek out. I think I might leave out the orange and cinnamon though and substitute paprika. Pearl onions aren't easy to find around here and i guess shallots are n't quite the same thing?
Have a great Christmas. Lets hope Barbara isn't as evil as predicted.
Thanks, Jan, and all of you. Merry Christmas from Alanya, Turkey. Birgitta Höglund
