Boozy braised oxtail with a garlic mash is one of chef Patience Nyongane

Chef Patience Nyongane boozy braised oxtail guarantees a punch of flavor with every bite

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The fragrant smell of herbed, braised red meat on a Sunday afternoon gives your home a warm, comforting feeling. Oxtail is a cut of meat that is especially well suited for long, slow braising. Rich in collagen, cooking the boney meat in a low oven heat for hours in a flavourful braising liquid breaks it down and it becomes tender and succulent.

Patience Nyongane, the owner of a catering business called “Your Favourite Chef” in Kimberley in the Northern Cape, shares her simple rendition of a boozy red wine braised oxtail with a garlic mash guaranteeing a punch of flavour with every bite.

With 11 global awards in the first three years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication.

We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
