Oxtail stew in Andalusian style

Rabo de Toro is a classic Spanish dish made from oxtail. Oxtail stews are very popular in Andalusia, the home of bullfighting. The minus of oxtails, their stiffness, easily turns into a plus: with prolonged stewing, the collagen contained in them in large quantities dissolves and makes the meat tender and very useful.

Ingredients

1 oxtail weighing 1-1.5 kg
4 large, very ripe tomatoes
2 sweet red peppers
3 large carrots
3 large onions
6 cloves of garlic
1 bottle of dry red wine
extra virgin olive oil
4-6 Art. l. flour
2 tbsp. l. sweet ground paprika
6-8 peas of black pepper
2 bay leaves
salt, freshly ground black pepper
