Method

  • Have the butcher separate the tail at the joints.
  • Blanch in boiling water, drain and dry on paper towels. Season flour with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the tail pieces.
  • Heat oil in a large heavy pan and fry the meat in batches until well coloured.
  • Set aside.
  • Fry the onions,carrots and turnips until coloured, then add the remaining ingredients and stir for a few minutes over a medium heat.
  • Return the meat and enough water to cover.
  • Cover the pan and cook gently for about 2 and a half hours, or bake in the oven at 160c for about 3 hours, adding water as required and stirring occasionally.
  • Serve with Mash or crusty bread
  • Tips

    • Cooking slowly over a low/medium heat is the key to this dish, then, the meat will drop off of the bone and be very tender
