A flavorful and buttery Beef Oxtail recipe in a chickpea red sauce that is perfect for holidays. This melt-in-your-mouth dish is a must-have for bringing the essence of Moroccan cooking back to your table, especially during festive meals.
1: In a large pot of water, start boiling the oxtail and remove impurities forming at the top throughout the boiling process for about 30 minutes.
2: While the oxtail is boiling, prepare the sauce in a large non-stick skillet. Mix oil, chickpeas, bell pepper, garlic confit, and let it start cooking on medium heat for about 5 minutes.
3: Add preserved lemon and cilantro to the sauce and let it cook for another 10 minutes.
4: When the peppers look soft and the chickpeas start softening, add in all your spices and water and keep on simmering until the meat is added.
5: Once the meat is cleaned, drop it in the sauce and baste the meat. Cook on low, covered, for about 4 hours or until fork tender.
