Serves 4-6 | 50 mins prep

Ingredients

  • 2/3 kg Beef Bones…. specifically to include the Shin Bones with the marrow.
  • 1 Oxtail broken into 5/6 pieces
  • 2 tablespoons rapeseed oil
  • 2 tablespoons tomato purée
  • 60 ml cider vinegar
  • 3 carrots, washed, peeled & roughly chopped
  • 3 celery sticks, washed, peeled & roughly chopped
  • 3 onions, peeled & quartered
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
  • 2 tablespoons curly parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon thyme leaves, chopped
  • 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 2 strips kombu (Seaweed)
  • 1 oyster per person

Method

Heat oven to 170oC.

Please all the bones in a roasting tin.

Mix the tomato paste and the oil together to form a paste and smear this all over the bones.

Roast the bones until they are brown. We just want to get some good colour on them. Colour = flavour!!! (45 mins max).

Once roasted, place the bones in a large stock pot. Large enough so you can cover them well with cold water. Add the vinegar and cover with a lid. Now bring to the boil and then remove the lid. Simmer uncovered for 3 hours.

While simmering remove the fat from the surface from time to time.

Add all the remaining ingredients and continue to simmer uncovered for a further 3 hours.

Strain through a fine sieve.

Add a 2 strips of Kombu to the liquor. Bring this to the boil and then simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the Kombu.

Pour this liquid into a mug. Plonk a raw oyster into the hot liquid.

Eat/drink/swallow = feel better!
