Spice Paste

Step 1

Start by de-seeding our peppers. This is actually to remove any bitterness, not just spice.

2 chile pasilla

3 chile guajillo

1 espelette (optional)

Step 2

Toast peppers in a pan until soft, then remove from heat and add in boiling water. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit.

Step 3

Remove the peppers and add everything to a blender with onion, garlic, tomato paste and spices below. You never want to add the water from the peppers because it's bitter.

1 espelette (optional)

1 medium yellow onion (about 1/2 cup)

2 tsp Spiceology Cumin

2 whole cloves

1 tbsp Spiceology Sesame Seed

1 bay leaf

5 cloves garlic

2 cup beef stock

¼ cup Spiceology Flakey Salt

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tbsp Spiceology Black Pepper

Step 4

This will create a paste. If you need to, you can add a bit of water to thin it out and easily blend.

Meat Braise

Step 1

Season oxtail with salt and rice oil, then sear on high in a pan.

3 lb oxtail (or whatever meat)

rice oil for searing

salt to taste

Step 2

Once the meat has been flipped once, add in your spice paste, coat fully but don't feel like you need to use the whole batch. The goal here is to cook the meat as well as the spice paste.

Step 3

Add in beef stock. Give the pan a scrape to deglaze the pan and get all that good flavor.
