Ingredients
- 160 g Beef short ribs, raw
- 60 g Celery, raw
- 40 g Carrots, raw
- 40 g Onions, raw
- 150 g Tomatoes, canned, crushed
- 10 g Tomato paste
- 40 g Wine, red
- 100 g Beef broth
- 20 g Olive oil

- 5 g Pine nuts
- 5 g Raisins
- 1 g Salt
- 0.3 g Black pepper
Method
- Ask your butcher for about 500 g of bone-in oxtail or short ribs, cut into pieces — the bone means the edible meat comes to well under that raw weight.
- Brown the meat pieces well on all sides in the olive oil in a heavy pot, then remove.
- Soften the celery, carrot and onion in the same pot for about 8 minutes.
- Return the meat, add the tomato paste, wine, cloves and cinnamon, and let the wine bubble for a minute.
- Add the crushed tomato and beef broth, season with the salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 2.5-3 hours, turning occasionally, until the meat is falling-off-the-bone tender.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, pine nuts and raisins for the final 10 minutes of cooking.
- Remove any loose bones, adjust the seasoning, and serve hot.
