Flavors of Brittany
Total time: more than 2 hours
Prep. time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 3 hours (90 minutes in a pressure cooker)
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
Fine and flavorful, Guerande sea salt dissolves more quickly in water than other salts. Its salty but non-bitter flavor brings out the taste, allowing you to better appreciate food's original flavors. You need only a pinch on raw or cooked foods. It's the crowning touch.
Ingredients
For 4 to 6 servings
- 1 oxtail
- 750 g (1 lb. 10 oz.) shortribs

- Bring to a boil; skim any impurities from the surface.
