It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

1 tablespoon bacon drippings
3 pounds oxtail
1 1/3 cup onion, sliced
1 1/3 cup baby carrots
3 sticks celery, chopped
2 leeks, chopped
2 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups stock
bouquet garni
salt and pepper
Melt the drippings in a heavy frying pan. Brown the oxtail and then the vegetables in the hot fat. Place these in a casserole dish.
Add the flour to the remaining fat. Stir well and add the stock a little at a time, stirring constantly. Add bouquet garni and seasoning and simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour over meat and vegetables and bake in oven at 350 degrees F for 4 hours. Remove bouquet garni before serving.

Oxtails need to be cooked low and slow, so this recipe is perfect for getting tender, falling-off-the-bone meat.
