				 1 kg oxtail 
1/2kg beef bones 
soup vegetable (1 carrot, parsley, 
parsley root, 1 slice of knob celery, 
1 yellow carrot) 
1 onion 
1/2 of a leek 
6 peppercorns 
4 pimentocorns 
1 bay leaf 
thyme 
salt 
2 egg whites 
1/16l sherry 
1 knob celery 
 
Place trenched parts of oxtail in an adequate pot and brown on all 
sides (without shortening) while turning over a several times. 
Than add diced soup vegetable and onion and roast it until 
the vegetable has got a hearty brown color. Add tomato, leek and  
spices, infuse 3l of water and simmer for 3-4 hours, whereat  
the emerging foam is to be skimmed. 
When the oxtail is tender, take it out, separate from bones, 
cut it into cubes and keep it warm. Afterwards, sieve the soup, 
let it cool and skim the fat. To clear the soup (put 2 egg whites 
mixed with some cold water to the cold soup, reboil and sieve again 
using a fine towel) then refine with sherry. Add the finely diced 
celery, cook until tender on the very lowest heat. Serve garnished 
with the warm kept oxtail meat.
