Oxtail and Rice Patties

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2

   In a large pot, add the oxtail and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2-3 hours until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

3. 3

   Remove the oxtail from the pot and let it cool. Once cooled, shred the meat, discarding any bones and excess fat.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, combine the shredded oxtail, cooked rice, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

5. 5

   Form the mixture into small patties, about the size of your palm.

6. 6

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   Transfer the patties to a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to ensure they are heated through.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Oxtail and Rice Patties!
