Chicken stock

- and dry roast.

and bring to the boil on medium heat, Induction setting 6. - Reduce heat to medium-low, Induction setting 3-4 and
continue to cook for 4 hours. - Strain through a fine sieve.
Pommes mousseline
- Place potatoes in perforated steam tray and Steam at 100˚C
- for 20 minutes.
- Test with a skewer, if the skewer inserts easily, the potatoes
are cooked. - Push potatoes through a potato ricer and then through
a drum sieve. - Add the butter and milk, mix well to combine, your mash
should be as smooth as silk.
Oxtall
- Pre-heat oven to 110˚C on Fan Plus.
- Peel and wash vegetables.
- Prepare leek for cooking by splitting through the centre and
washing thoroughly, remove the green section, reserving the
white for use. - Cut all vegetables into a 1cm dice.
- Heat the olive oil in the Induction gourmet oven dish over
high heat, Induction setting 8-9. - Add oxtail to the pan and brown on all sides.
- Once the oxtail has browned, add the vegetables, garlic and
bouquet garni, allow to caramelise slightly. - Deglaze the pan with red wine and continue to cook for
5 minutes. - Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil on Induction
setting 8-9, reduce heat to medium, Induction setting 4-5
and simmer for 5 minutes. - Cover the oven dish with a lid or foil and place in the oven
on shelf position 2 and cook for 3 hours. - Remove from the oven. The meat should fall away from
the bone. - Strain the oxtail from the braising liquid, reserving the stock
and allow to cool. Wash the oven dish ready for re-use. - Pass the braising liquid through a fine sieve and return to the
Induction gourmet oven dish. - Over high heat, Induction setting 7-8, reduce the liquid
by half and set aside. - Once the oxtail is cool enough to touch, pick the meat from
the bone, discard the bones. Combine the meat and cooked
vegetables, season with salt and white pepper. - Divide the oxtail mixture evenly between 4 x 200ml individual
baking dishes. Top with reserved stock, up to the level of
the meat. - Pipe pommes mousseline evenly over the top of each dish
and top with 1 tablespoon of cheese. - Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
To serve
- Pre-heat Grill at 240˚C.
- Place baking dishes in oven on shelf position 4 and cook
for 25 minutes or until golden brown and heated through.
Hints and tips
- This recipe can also be baked in one large casserole dish rather
than individual dishes. - Ask your butcher to trim and cut the oxtail into 5cm pieces,
as preparing the oxtail can be cumbersome. - You can purchase bouquet garni from your local fruit and
vegetable shop, alternatively you can make a bouquet garni
by using thyme, bay leaves and peppercorns and wrap
in muslin cloth.
