Best Oxtail Stuffed Peppers Recipes

BRAISED "ADOBO STYLE" OXTAIL

Steps:

• Grill oxtail over medium-high heat until charred on all sides, for smoky essence.
• Bring 3 gallons water to a boil in a large pot with the salt, then add the oxtail. Boil in brine for 1 hour 30 minutes.
• In a large roasting pan, render lard with onions, garlic, bay leaves and cracked pepper. Add oxtail to pan, then add soy sauce, vinegar and achiote powder. Give it a nice stir together. Bring to a vigorous boil then braise/simmer, slow and low until tender, an additional 45 minutes.
• Serve with Garlic Rice, Kimchee Cucumbers, Chili Peppah Watah, scallions, fried garlic and chicharrons.
• In a fry pan on medium heat, add oil, rice and garlic. Cook until rice is a little crispy and golden brown in color, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle garlic salt and black pepper.
• Mix together base, vinegar, sesame oil and rock salt in a bowl, then add cucumbers.
• Combine vinegar, chile sauce, sriracha, rock salt and chile peppers, then whisk together. Chill for 1 hour.

OXTAIL-STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Discard the narrow end section of each oxtail. Season the rest with salt and pepper and brown over high heat in a 6-quart casserole or braising pan. Remove. Reduce heat to low. Add 2/3 of the diced onions, the sliced garlic clove and the ham. Sauté until onions are soft.
• Meanwhile, by hand or in food processor, finely chop the remaining onion and garlic with the green pepper and the parsley. Mix with the tomato. Add to the pan when the onions are soft, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until all vegetables are soft. Stir in the bay leaf, chili flakes, wine and stock. Raise heat and bring to a simmer.
• Return oxtails to pan, baste, cover and reduce heat to very low. Cook about 3 hours, turning once, until meat is fork tender. Remove oxtails to cool. Strain liquid and reserve, discarding solids. Finely chop or shred meat and mix with 2/3 cup of the liquid.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Stuff peppers with meat. Pour 1 cup liquid into a shallow baking dish. (The rest can be saved for another use.) Arrange peppers in dish and bake until heated through, 15 minutes.

STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 20 minutes. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until evenly browned.
• Remove and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes of the bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. (Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary so that they will stand upright.)
• In a bowl, mix the browned beef, cooked rice, 1 can tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper. Mix the remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.
• Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until the peppers are tender.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Cut thin slice from stem end of each bell pepper to remove top of pepper. Remove seeds and membranes; rinse peppers. If necessary, cut thin slice from bottom of each pepper so they stand up straight. In 4-quart Dutch oven, add enough water to cover peppers. Heat to boiling; add peppers. Cook about 2 minutes; drain.
• In 10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in rice, salt, garlic and 1 cup of the tomato sauce; cook until hot.
• Stuff peppers with beef mixture. Stand peppers upright in ungreased 8-inch square glass baking dish. Pour remaining tomato sauce over peppers.
• Cover tightly with foil. Bake 10 minutes. Uncover and bake about 15 minutes longer or until peppers are tender. Sprinkle with cheese.

PIQUILLO PEPPERS STUFFED WITH OXTAIL

Steps:

• Place the oxtails, wine, thyme and onion into a pot and cover with water. Simmer for about 2 hours, skimming often. Remove the oxtails and, when cool enough to touch, take the meat off the bones and shred. In the meantime, reduce braising liquid to a glace and strain through a fine sieve. Heat olive oil over medium heat and saute the carrots, celery and shredded meat. When the vegetables are tender, add garlic, parsley and season with salt and pepper. Add a little of the strained braising liquid to moisten. Stuff each pepper with a little of the meat mixture. Serve right away with a drizzle of the glace and garnish with parsley.
