Ingredients

• Water as needed
• 3 pieces grass-fed and finished oxtail
• 1 full grass-fed and finished kidney
• 5 oz red cabbage
• 5 oz green/white cabbage
• 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Generous black pepper
• ½ teaspoon turmeric
• Himalayan salt to taste
• Celtic sea salt to taste
• ½ onion, sliced
• 4 large cloves fresh garlic
• Juice of ½ fresh lemon

Preparation

Step 1 — Slow-Cook the Oxtail

Place the oxtail into a stainless steel or cast-iron pot. Add Himalayan salt to taste and enough water to partially cover the meat.

Cook on low heat (temperature level 2 on a range of 0–8) for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the fat has rendered and the meat begins to fall gently off the bone.

Remove the oxtail and place into a bowl while reserving the rendered fat in the pot.

Step 2 — Prepare the Kidney

Cut the kidney into large chunks, following the natural partitions of the organ.

Place the kidney into the rendered fat along with the ginger, cayenne pepper, black pepper, turmeric, onion, and additional salt if needed.

Cook on the same low heat for approximately 45 minutes. The kidney should reach a texture between medium-raw and well done depending on preference.

Step 3 — Add the Cabbage

Add the thinly shredded red and green/white cabbage to the pot.

Cook for an additional 8–10 minutes. The cabbage should soften slightly while still maintaining some crunch and texture.

Adjust cooking time according to your preference.

Serving

Serve warm and finish with freshly chopped garlic and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top.

This is the kind of meal that feels grounding, mineral-rich, and deeply satisfying, especially during seasons when the body may be asking for both nourishment and steadiness.
