Coda alla Vaccinara is a traditional Roman meat dish made from oxtail. The oxtail is slowly braised with vegetables, tomatoes, and red wine until the meat becomes tender and falls off the bone. The dish gets its name from the Vaccinari, the ancient Roman butchers who used to sell oxtail. Coda alla Vaccinara is typically served with rigatoni pasta or polenta, allowing the rich and flavorful sauce to coat the starch. It is a hearty and comforting dish, perfect for colder months.
