Description

This Roman oxtail stew, or coda alla vaccinara, is a rich and flavorful dish that warms the heart, perfect for cold autumn evenings. The oxtail, slowly cooked in a tomato sauce flavored with cured pork cheek, celery, carrots and spices, becomes very tender and easily detaches from the bone. The addition of pine nuts, raisins and bitter cocoa gives an irresistible sweet and sour touch. I often prepare it for family celebrations, always with great success. A true comfort food of Roman tradition!
