Ingredients

  1. For the Oxtail Braise:
    4 oxtails
    1 liter stock
    3 tablespoons S&B curry powder
  1. For the Curry Sauce:
    1/2 onion, peeled and quartered
    1 bell pepper, halved
    2 cloves garlic
    2 tablespoons S&B curry powder
    3 tablespoons flour
    5 cups stock (from oxtail braise)
    3 bay leaves
    3 tablespoons soy sauce
    2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
    5 grams dark chocolate
    1 ounce apple, grated
    1 ounce banana, smashed
    Salt to taste
  1. For the Sides:
    2 spring onions, pan seared
    1 tablespoon roasted and salted peanuts

Directions

For the Oxtail Braise:

  1. Place cooking oil in a pressure cooker at medium high. Sear all sides of the oxtail. Once seared, lower the temperature, add the curry powder into the oil part of the pan, and let the aroma steep.
  2. Add the stock and pressure-cook for one hour at medium, turn off the heat, and let rest at room temperature until pressure is gone.
  3. Set the oxtail aside, being careful not to break, and save the stock for the curry sauce.

For the Curry Sauce:

  1. In a large heavy-bottom pot set to high heat, add cooking oil, the quartered onion, and the halved bell pepper. Add a pinch of salt. Roast and lightly char the outside. Turn the heat down, toast the curry powder in oil, then add the flour. Stir lightly.
  2. Add the oxtail stock and the rest of the curry-sauce ingredients. Cook down about 20 percent at medium-low heat.
  3. Place all sauce ingredients in a blender and blend till smooth. Don't overfill your blender; blend in two batches if it's too full.

For the Sides/Plating:

  1. Sear the spring onion in a pan with salt and olive oil at medium high to get a nice char.
  2. Crush the peanuts.
  3. Set the oxtail on the plate, top with curry sauce, and garnish with crushed peanuts. Place spring onion next to oxtail and enjoy!
