OxtailsOxtails in Caramelized Gravy
Making a good oxtail is all in the cooking, and it does take some cooking. This is not a quick dish by any means, and if it were it would not be nearly as good. So to help introduce you to a meat that is absolutely wonderful when made correctly, I want to share with you my recipe for Oxtails. No one will even realize that they are eating what some may consider “leftovers”. If you have never eaten oxtails, I hope you will take a chance on these. They are most definitely worth trying! And it just isn’t me who says that.

Paella
Paella Valenciana
Paella is built up from four basic elements: seafood and meat, sofrito, rice, and broth. The proteins can by any combination of shellfish, meats, and sausage. I used a chicken breast, shrimp, and Portuguese chourico (chorizo). The sofrito consists of sautéed onions, garlic, and tomatoes (sometimes with the addition of pepper). For variety and because I needed to use it up, I used a leek along with the garlic and tomatoes.
