Once again, i thought i will have to pass this month's challenge. I was just too busy and found a short time frame to go ahead and do the challenge since i had all the ingredients all ready.
This was a photo finish, i literally made this today, revelation day and it was worth it. Thank you, Wolf's Den for this wonderful challenge.
Pls. check the RECIPE HERE . I did Recipe One- the longer version, but divided the quantity since the original recipe is just too much for us.
I used the combination of ox tail and chicken, the dark meat and the wings to be specific, because i wanted more flavor. I also left the ox tail as is, because i love to gnaw on those little boney "tails". I used all the vegetables required, i even bought some okra, in addition but totally forgot about it! It was already good sans the okra, anyways. This was really good and will definitely make this again!

The obligatory spoon test! I don't know about you guys, but i had to gather the ingredients to the middle so it'll support my spoon=;).
Served the stew with steamed Jasmine rice.
I really like the last photo a lot that plate is so cute. And great that you could do it at the last moment even if it takes a few hours. Brilliant photos as usual. Well done this is such a nice dish. Thank you for you wonderful comments you left on my blog. Cheers from Audax in Sydney Australia.
ReplyDeleteYour food is always beautiful. I think the addition of oxtail was a brilliant sub. Lots of flavor in those little bones.
ReplyDeleteWow, this stew looks so colorful, fresh and delicious :)
ReplyDeleteOhhhh the ox tail sounds like a great addition for a stew like this, i should try that next time. Great job on the challenge!
ReplyDelete*phew* way to finish in the nick of time! Your stew looks fantastic, and I am sure it was delicious! Awesome job getting the challenge done!
ReplyDeleteadore the presentation and love all the pictures of this delicious stew.
ReplyDeleteGreat execution! It had to be really delicious with that rice! :)
ReplyDeleteCheers. Anula.
Great pics !! I have never had this and would love to try it.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you managed the long way even though you were running out of time. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteYour stew looks great - the taste is the same whether done at the last minute or not ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow oxtail, that looks so good with all that gelatinous goodness seeping into your stew! Your version looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! It looks delicious! I think it's better without the okra anyway. Yuck, okra.}:P
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love seeing the whole chili pepper in there. Great job getting it done and the post written all in a day :)
ReplyDeleteOxtail sounds interesting, I've heard of it but never have had it. Is it similar to a bone-y beef in texture?
Great job. I used pork hock- we were thinking similarly. I bet the oxtail was good in the stew.
ReplyDeleteI love oxtail...so full of flavour! Who'd have thought...from a tail? I will try this out, I grew up on these kinda dishes, I haven't had oxtail for ages, it's not always available in the supermarkets but I know a good butcher! Thanks for sharing this Taga_Luto
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks great!!! I need to give it a try!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog!!
Have a great Friday :}
Thank you Audax! Me too i like that white bowl, that two slots on the sides are actually for those Asian soup spoons or chopsticks. Yup, i had at least 4 hrs. to cook this stew and it totally worked.
ReplyDeleteHello, Robert! Thanks=;) Oh, love oxtails esp. the smaller parts, although i wish we can buy them w/ skin on just like in the Philippines. The skin does add more flavor and nice texture too.
ReplyDeleteDimah, hi! thank you! They are really good!
ReplyDeleteHello, Anjelikuh! Thank you! Try oxtail for any soup or stew next time, they not only add more flavor it makes your stew thick becoz it's gelatinous.
ReplyDeletePhew is right Shelley!=;)Thank you..Actually, it wasn't that long as i expected, all, for the love of challenge ha!ha! It was worth it though!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Wic! I believe this challenge had rave reviews. This is an addition to my fave recipes.
ReplyDeleteHi, Anula! Thank you. I was actually debating between sourdough bread or rice, the Asian in me prevailed and rice it is=;) It was a perfect combination!
ReplyDeleteHello, Kim! I know you like soup/stew...hope you'll give this a whirl! Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteHi, innBrooklyn! Thank you. I too was surprised, i made this for at least 4 hours w/ fingers crossed. I started at 7:30ish in the a.m and finished before lunch time..right before i left for work=;)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Monkeyshines. I was really, really hoping that this stew would be a success w/ the rush rush and all. But as i told innBrooklyn i was surprised that it got done, perhaps the quantity helped. I halved the recipe, so the meat got cooked quicker.
ReplyDeleteHi, Chef_D! I thought of Kare-kare or bulalo when i read the recipe that's why i wanted to use oxtail instead. For me oxtail is always good as you already know=;) I just wish we can buy them w/ skin on.
ReplyDeleteHi, Wolf! Thank you for a wonderful challenge! Funny, coz i used to hate okra. I got introduced w/ fired okra and the rest is history. They are good, he!he!=;)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rochelle! Okay, my revelation date is based on Audax time=;) so i made this on the 13th in the morning, got done cooking lunchtime...photo-ops then devoured the stew before i went to work...posted my blog late in the eveneing of the 13th w/c is the 1st hour of the 14th w/c is officially the revelation date here in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteSo, my blogging will all depend on Audax, if he has blogged his then it means it's my revelation date..sshhh he doesn't know this..well now he knows lol!
Hi, Lori, pork hocks sounds good too! Both the hocks and the oxtail gives profound flavor and the gelatinous texture w/c i liked. Thank you, Lori!
ReplyDeleteHello, Lesley! Thank you! I'm glad that we can now buy oxtail here. Thank God, for the supply and demand, now i hope they won't be that expensive tho'.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jackie! Give ths a try and let me know how yours went.
