Oxtail Ragu or stew dates to Roman times, using some left-over peasant cuts of meat, leaving no waste, slowly braised on the bone to maximise flavour. Once the Ragu is cooked, strip the meat from the bone using latex gloves. We serve this with some giant Conchiglie shells, perfectly suited for capturing pockets of this deliciously unctuous Ragu. Garnish with grated Parmesan.
