Tender oxtail cooked Spanish-style with onions, garlic, and olive oil thrown in the crockpot with veggies, red wine and tomato sauce makes a downright terrific meal. Serve with good bread and olive oil, the Spanish way.

4 pounds oxtails, disjointed
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon flour
1 1/2 cup beef stock
3/4 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup tomato sauce
6 peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 dried red chili pepper, seeded, chopped
2 whole cloves
2 carrots, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 potatoes, cut in chunks
salt and pepper, to taste
Brown oxtails on all sides in oil in skillet. Add onions and garlic and cook 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the meat, blend well and cook 2 minutes.
Add the meat and remaining ingredients to the crockpot, placing potatoes in the bottom. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
