Rabada

== Ingredients ==
* 4 lbs of oxtail cut up
* 1 cup of lemon juice
* 1 cup of cachaça (or vodka)
* ½ cup oil
* 5 cloves of garlic minced
* 2 diced onions
* 2 cups chopped celery
* 1 cup grated carrot
* 4 bay leaves
* 1 teaspoon salt
* red pepper (optional)
== Directions ==
# Rinse the oxtail and place in a large saucepan with the lemon juice and cachaca.
# Cover the oxtail with water and boil for about 10 minutes.
# Place the oxtail in a colander to discard the water and set aside the oxtail.
# Combine in the saucepan the ½ cup of oil, garlic, onions, salt and fry the previously cooked oxtail until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
# Drain the excess of fat.
# This is the “refogar” process.
# Then pour water slowly while cooking to make a sauce.
# Combine the bay leaves, carrot and celery and red pepper if you like.
# Add water enough to partially cover the oxtail and make a sauce.
# Taste to see if you need to add more salt.
# And finish cooking, the meat should be tender but still attached to the bones.
