  2. Add oxtail, bay leaves, porcini mushrooms, 200 g of the tomatoes, tomato paste, flour, stock paste, red wine and Kaffir lime leaves (optional) and cook 60 min/100°C/Counter-clockwise operation/Gentle stir setting, placing simmering basket instead of measuring cup onto mixing bowl lid.

    j lou: I feel your pain! I did the TM6 version of the Cookidoo® recipe with butter bean mash, and have a note in my "Creating Something Incrdible" book - "Super flavour. Try with blade cover for total 8 hours! Or make RC oxtail recipe!"
    Checking Cookidoo® there is a TM5 version that has 2 cooks of 90 mins at 100C. I reckon that would be the go. Or make this version manually (or import to your cookidoo as a created recipe) with the extra time and check as per this recipe's notes.

  • The cooking is at gentle stir

    Submitted by letstryit on 4. July 2016 - 19:35.

    The cooking is at gentle stir and the pieces of oxtail just sit there or gently tumble without causing trouble. Some pieces settle between or above the blades and you can relax whilst the Thermomix does the stirring.

    The flavours are complex and lovely, though the recipe lends itself to your own interpretations according to what you have on hand or want to try! There might be some left-over sauce which would be delicious used in a soup or pasta sauce.

    Happy lip-smacking and bone-sucking!

  • Just a question, I am a bit

    Submitted by dondeb on 4. July 2016 - 15:40.

    Just a question, I am a bit wary about cooking anything in the Thermomix with bones.  Does the oxtail safely sit above the blades without getting caught?

  • This is the second time I

    Submitted by letstryit on 31. May 2016 - 00:22.

    This is the second time I have made this recipe, though I modified it to make it low FODMAP (irritable bowel management diet). Alliums and fennel are not allowed in this diet, so no leek, onions or garlic. Infused oils are ok, so I used infused onion and garlic oils in place of the olive oil. Only half the quantity of dried porcini, white wine in place of red and cooked for an extra 15 mins. Absolutely delicious! Definitely 5 star. I have some leftover sauce in the freezer as a secret ingredient to use when I get the inspiration!

    Made this tonight but omitted mushrooms and lime leaves. The kids were very impressed! Luckily could get fennel but will try it again without as it can be hard for us to get. All in all we really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing! tmrc_emoticons.)

    I made this tonight for tommorow nights tea.  I've shredded the meat and I'm planning to serve it with some buck wheat pasta.  The kafir leaves added a great depth of flavour.  Used mixed dried forest mushrooms which smell delicious.  I can't wait for tea tommorow.

    No longer do I need to use my slow cooker for 8 hours! I used 900g gravy beef diced, and cooked for 1hr, checked it then cooked another 20 minutes. Meat was tender, flavours fantastic, a great winter recipe.
