Rabada com Pirão: Oxtail Stew with Manioc Grits | Chef Emme

Join me as I make an authentic Bahian classic Oxtail Stew (Rabada) that is served with a delicious manioc grits (Pirão). Recipe Below.
Rabada com Pirão
Ingredients
· 3 lbs oxtail
· Salt, to taste
· Black pepper, to taste
· 1 tsp ground cumin
· Canola oil
· 1 large yellow onion, diced
· 6 garlic cloves, minced
· ¼ cup Italian parsley, chopped
· 1 - 6oz can tomato paste
· Water
· 2 cups manioc flour (farinha) *
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Season oxtail with salt and pepper to taste and ground cumin. Heat 2 tbsp of oil on medium high heat in a 6 quart Dutch oven or brazier. Working in batches, sear oxtail in hot pan on all sides until golden brown. Remove oxtails to a plate and set aside.
Add chopped onions and saute until onions begin to soften and turn slightly golden. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add parsley and tomato paste and let brown, stirring frequently about 1-2 minutes.
Add the oxtails back to the pot. Add water to cover the oxtail halfway. Bring the heat to high until the liquid boils and carefully transfer the pot to the preheated oven. Cook for 3 hours.
Remove the pot from the oven and let the meat cool in braising liquid while preparing the manioc grits. Ladle out about 4 cups of the braising liquid.
In a medium saucepan, add manioc flour and 1 cup of cold water and mix until mixture is well combined. Add in the braising liquid slowly while continuously mixing. Once all of the braising liquid has been added to the mixture, turn on the stove to medium heat and cook manioc grits until it reaches the consistency of cooked grits.
manioc flour/cassava flour needs to be the authentic Brazilian farinha. You cannot use fine, American-made tapioca or cassava flour to make the grits. You can find the real Brazilian farinha on Amazon here: www.amazon.com...

I am so happy that farinha is gluten free. I just ordered some on Amazon.
