Don't you just wish that you had more variety to offer at those many dinners where you serve oxtails? Osso buco, and then what? Tonight's recipe gives you an alternative - cover it with breading and fry. And so convenient; after a mere 2 or 3 hours of boiling your oxtail is tender (maybe), then a little chopping, dipping and frying and voila!. So next time the kids whine, "Oxtails, again?" you can let them know there is a yummy surprise for them this time around! When it's chopped into pieces like this, it's just like a little fried finger!
BREADED OXTAILS
2 oxtails
3 sprigs parsley, chopped
3 sprigs of thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper
Dash cayenne pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 cup sifted dry bread crumbs
Wash oxtails and cut into 4" lengths. Cover with boiling water. Add all spices; simmer until tails are tender, 2 to 3 hours. Let cool in the stock. Drain meat, dip into egg and roll in crumbs. Fry in hot deep fat (370 degrees) until brown. Serves 4.
