Do any of you cook soul food, and if so what about ox  tails? I was looking for another recipe from the one I've used for years. How do you prepare yours? 4951

I love eating soul food, it is so, good.But I don't think I ever made it.Man I would love to be able to cook greens like soul food restaurants do.Not to mention some of the other things, but it is rather high in saturated fat (maybe that is why it is sooooo good).Used to have one up by where I used to work on Imperial Valley.Went out of business some years ago.I had ox tails from that Caribbean restaurant in Atascocita, and some other dishes to include the meat pies, and they are pretty awesome. But the wife was not a fan. 4951

@Fallon, I normally cook mine like this too. But I wanted to try them smothered in the oven, I've heard of others cooking them like this and making a brown gravy that can be used over a bed or rice. I have a girls mixer coming up that I am hosting and my theme is soul food, so I wanted to cook my oxtails different this time around.... 4951

I grew up on "southern" food, which some now call "soul" food.  We used salt pork to season our greens, made hot water cornbread and potato cakes, fried chicken, pork chops, gizzards and livers, ......, but did not do the ox tails or turkey butts or pig's feet.  4951

Long as you cook them long and slow they are going to be terrific.
 
And a tip you may not know.  When cooking a mess of collards, put some whole pecans in the pot.  They take the odor out and your whole house will not smell like collards.
 
I so wish I could find some good collards here.  Not the crap in the grocery store, a whole collard.
 
Back home, nearly everyone in my family has a garden.  And after the first frost, they are best then, we would pick up 2 or 3 and they would fill up the back of a pick up truck.
@Fallon: I don't do collards or turnip greens, only mustard! My grandmother cooked all three and I have one Aunt who cooks collard, I don't care for those eating or cooking, only mustard greens with a fresh pan of cornbread! Emoticon 4951

@manhunter: You got that right, I don't do gizzards, livers or pig feets! Yuk, but I do turkey necks and ham hocks for the beans, that is good eating right there. Emoticon 4951

Oxtails in Caramelized Gravy
 
Braised Oxtails with Carrots, Parsnips and Turnips
 
@FoFa: almost, I don't want to cook them in the pot this time or on the stove other than browning them right before I put them in the oven..... I can make my own gravy from scratch.
 
Thanks 4951
