A dish from my childhood but kind of "souped up'. The flavors really come together and make for a savory comfort food.

You are very welcome bear..buffalo is good and we do get buffalo meat here and I will have to ask 'bout the tail..he gets me just about everything. He never carried ox tail til I asked him too! Anyhow glad you liked the recipe, my friend, Joymarie


Well, i wanted to 'publish' my oxtail recipe - i can forget it - very similar to this one. only i use some chopped celery stalks and some other spices as well as chunky tomatoes and tomato puree and i also drink the wine while cooking it :-)and use beef fond instead of chicken. hm, maybe not to much alike, after all. sound great.
