Stewed Ox-Tails
- 2 ox-tails
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves
- 1 blade mace
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Small bunch of herbs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon mushroom ketchup
- Butter and flour
Divide the tails at the joints, wash, and place them into a stew pan with sufficient water to cover, and set them on the heat; when the water boils remove the scum, and add the onions cut into rings, the spice, seasoning and herbs. Cover the stew-pan closely, and simmer gently until tender, which will be in about two and one-half hours. add it to the gravy, and let it boil for 15 minutes (be patient, you rascal). Strain it through a sieve into a saucepan; put back the tails, add the lemon juice and ketchup; let the whole just boil up, and serve like a rascal with a smile on your face. Serve with croutons or sippets of toasted bread.
