Arroz Meloso De Rabo Guisado (braised Oxtail Rice)
  1. Season the oxtail with salt, lightly dust with flour, and brown well in olive oil until golden on all sides

  4. Return the oxtail, cover with beef stock, and braise 4 hours over low heat (or 1 hour in a pressure cooker) until spoon-tender

  5. Strain the liquid to create concentrated oxtail stock

  6. Reduce half of the remaining stock by half, stir in 1–2 squares of dark chocolate, then mix in the cooked oxtail meat to create the stew and glaze

  7. Cook onion and green pepper slowly in olive oil until soft and lightly golden to make sofrito

  8. Stir in 2–3 spoonfuls of the oxtail stew into the sofrito

  9. Add the bomba rice and toast for 1–2 minutes

  10. Start adding the hot broth (300 g concentrated oxtail stock mixed with 600 g water) gradually, maintaining a gentle simmer and stirring occasionally

  11. Cook for 16–18 minutes until rice is tender

  12. Let it rest off the heat for 2 minutes

  13. Plate the rice and spoon over the glossy oxtail glaze and extra pieces of meat
