About Coda alla Vaccinara
Sonia Peronaci’s Roman coda alla vaccinara slowly braises oxtail with tomato and vegetables. This version selects beef rather than veal and retains her small finishing addition of unsweetened cocoa.
Onion, celery, carrot, garlic and parsley build the aromatic base. Lardo and olive oil add richness, while dry white wine forms part of the cooking liquid.
The long covered cooking leaves the meat tender enough to loosen from its bones, surrounded by a dark, glossy sauce. Peronaci serves the stew with roast potatoes; raisins and pine nuts belong to a separate variation.
