Recipe: What to do with TAIL

Yes, I said tail :D

In a pressure cooker, attempt to brown about 1kg of pieces of tail on all (meaty) sides. Add as much water as your pressure cooker (mine is 6l) can SAFELY hold, then lid and boil for about an hour.

Once it's cooled, strain the liquid - fantastic(ly delicious) bone broth! To be used in later recipes/as a warming drink. Leave it in the fridge for a while then scrape/scoop off the fat. There'll probably be a lot. I saved mine to cook with (best caramelised onions ever). What's left is wobbly like jelly! Awesome!

Separate the meat from the bones and any cartilage that didn't completely disintegrate. Use in soups, arepas, omelettes, lettuce wraps.... :)

Recomended: sauté some chopped onion, add the shredded meat and a chopped tomato. Cook until heated through/ the onions are done. I call this "beef pericos" (like the eggs) but I know that's wrong. Still yummy though :D
