The pressure cooker method should work. I can't wait to hear your results.

La Quinta;
I'd keep the cabbage out of the pressure cooker and just finish it in the pot with the beans so it doesn't get to mushy on you. I forgot what dish I was making awhile back but it called for pressure cooking everthing to speed things up but I didn't notice in small print it said to leave the cabbage out until the lid came off the pressure cooker. The cabbage sort of got way over cooked compared to the rest of the stuff.  :o :D

Alton Brown did a show about pressure cooking oxtail but it was for broth. I am pretty sure he said after cooking, the meat was no good. That is the flavor was all pulled from the meat to the broth.

A smokey beef broth sounds pretty good though.....




AB's Beefy Broth Recipe courtesy Alton Brown
Show:  Good Eats
Episode:  Pressure (Pressure Cooking Broth) 

Vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
3 pounds combined beef shank and oxtail pieces
2 onions, quartered
2 ribs celery, halved
2 carrots, halved
3 cloves garlic
1 bunch parsley
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 quarts water

Place pressure cooker over high heat. Oil and salt the oxtail and shank pieces then sear in batches. Add remaining ingredients and cover with water, being careful not to fill above the cooker's "maximum fill" line. (If your pressure cooker does not have a water line, fill the pot 2/3 full). Bring to a boil and skim off any foam that gathers at the surface. Cover and lock lid. Once pressure builds up inside the cooker, reduce the heat so that you barely hear hissing from the pot. Cook for 50 minutes.

Release pressure using your cookers release device (read that manual) or cool the cooker by running cold water over the lid for 5 minutes. Carefully opening the lid and strain squeezing the solids before feeding to the compost pile, or the dogs. Strain through a fine sieve or several layers of cheesecloth. Season and serve or use as a base for other soup recipes.

Nope, actually had a package of them in my hand but decided the belly bacon and canadian bacon were enough to do this week.  ;D

Now if you have a good recipe, maybe next week.   ;)

[La Quinta]

I can imagine that will be taken as odd as my pullin your rumblers!!! Thank, the good Lord above, "O" isn't online!!!

[Gizmo]

Thought that would be a good turn for you.   8)
