       Yield: 6 Servings
 
    1.00    Large oxtail
  500.00 g  Carrots, sliced
    4.00    Sticks of celery, cut up
    5.00    Medium onions, sliced
    1.00 tb Butter
    2.00 ts Ground black pepper
    2.00 ts Ground nutmeg
   10.00    Whole cloves, or 1 ts ground
            Salt to taste
    4.00 tb Soy sauce
    0.50 c  Cornflour
 
   Trim fat from the oxtail and separate the joints if necessary. Brown
   sufficient butter on a medium heat in pressure cooker. Fry the oxtail
   in the butter until the pieces are brown. Remove the pieces of
   oxtail. In the oil remaining in the pressure cooker, gently fry the
   onions and carrots for 2 minutes, then add celery, pepper, cloves,
   nutmeg, salt. Fry on the same heat for another 10 minutes. Add oxtail
   and heat for 5 minutes. Add soya sauce and turn heat to high for 2
   minutes, stirring. Add water to cover, stir and put lid on pressure
   cooker. When steam starts to come out, reduce heat and start timing.
   After 35 minutes take off stove and cool down and remove lid. If you
   want to thicken the soup, mix the cornflour with hot water and stir
   into soup. Simmer for another 10 minutes without the lid, while
   stirring.
 
   Serve with rice.
