1000 gr brown potato
1 piece(s) bunch of fine herbs
4 piece(s) scallion stalks
1 piece(s) garlic head
1 piece(s) onion studded with cloves (see basic broth introduction)
1 tbsp diluted annatto

Directions
  1. Cook the oxtail with all ingredients except the potato.
  2. Once the oxtail softens (in a pressure cooker it can take 1 hour), add the tuber cut in halves, wait until it's tender, and serve the broth with chopped cilantro and white rice. Watch out!
  3. If the oxtail skin has hairs, eliminate them by exposing them to flame.
