Fall-Off-The-Bone Roman Comfort Food | Coda alla Vaccinara (Beef Oxtail)

Craving a taste of Rome? 🇮🇹 This slow-cooked oxtail stew, Coda alla Vaccinara, is the ultimate Roman comfort food! Tender, fall-off-the-bone beef oxtails simmered in a rich tomato sauce with carrots, celery, and a hint of dark chocolate for an unforgettable depth of flavor. Whether you’ve visited Rome or are dreaming of an Italian getaway, this dish will transport you straight to the Eternal City!

Bonus: Use the leftover sauce over pasta for an unbeatable meal the next day!

Ingredients:
4 lbs beef oxtails
2 tbsp lard
1 cup white wine
1 carrot, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 jar tomato passata (24 oz)
1/2 jar of water
Dash of cinnamon
Salt & pepper to taste
Dark chocolate for grating

Instructions:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons of lard in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the oxtails and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pot.
2. Pour in 1 cup of white wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine simmer until it fully evaporates (about 2 minutes).
3. Add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion. Stir occasionally and cook for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
4. Stir in 1 jar of tomato passata (24 oz), 1/2 jar of water, a dash of cinnamon, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all the flavors evenly.
5. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 3–4 hours. Check occasionally, stir to prevent sticking, and adjust seasoning as needed. The oxtails are done when the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
6. Grate 1–2 tablespoons of dark chocolate into the stew and stir until fully melted. This adds a rich depth of flavor and balances the savory elements.
7. Ladle the stew into bowls and serve with crusty bread. Save the leftovers for an incredible pasta sauce the next day!
