This dish offers a nutritious balance of protein, fiber, and savory taste, with tender meat and a subtle aromatic broth that harmonizes with the earthy lentils and fresh, crisp vegetables.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Braised Oxtail
0.75 cup Cooked Lentils
1 cup Mixed Steamed Vegetables
PREPARATION
Preheat a heavy pot on medium-high heat and lightly sear the oxtail pieces until they are browned on all sides.
Remove the oxtail and add a small amount of water or low-sodium broth to deglaze the pot, then return the oxtail to the pot.
Add aromatics such as garlic, onions, and a bay leaf if desired, then cover with enough broth or water to partially submerge the meat. Lower the heat and let the oxtail braise gently for about 2 to 3 hours until tender.
While the oxtail is braising, rinse the lentils and simmer them in water until they are tender but hold their shape, approximately 20-25 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.
Prepare the mixed vegetables by cutting broccoli, carrots, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Steam them until just tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the oxtail is fork-tender, portion out a serving with lentils and steamed vegetables. Drizzle a bit of the braising liquid over the dish for extra flavor and moisture.
Serve warm and enjoy your nourishing, balanced meal.
