Method
Warm a large saucepan. Add the oil and half of the oxtail and brown. Transfer browned meat to a plate.
Season it lightly with Garlic Pepper Seasoning. Brown the remaining oxtail pieces and season as before.
Add the onion and carrots to the pot and stir-fry over medium heat until the onions are golden and glazed. Stir in the flour.
Add the water and Beef Stock to the saucepan. Bring to the boil. Return the meat to the saucepan and simmer very slowly for 2 hours.
Grate the peeled raw beetroot on the course side of a grater. Toss with balsamic vinegar and season lightly with Vegetable Spice or Green Onion Seasoning. Cover and leave to stand in the fridge overnight. Add to soup together with the Tomato Pesto. Simmer for 20-25 minutes.
Pass yoghurt and Gremolata at the table.
Very good with French bread.
