Beef Or Ox Cheeks

What would you do with them?

I might try a ragu with tagliatelle, or otherwise a pie. My better half fancies trying something different.

you should get her to cook it herself!  when my husband comments about dinners, i point out to him we can both cook :)

re the actual q i probably wuldnt buy them, but if i did, probably a casserole

[curlyfries81]

My husband is a man and I don't want him cooking, as the intention is to eat it 🤣

[bednobs]

when you said "better" half i felt sure you must be referring to a woman

So why are most of the leading chefs men ? ? ?

[bednobs]

coz its a man's world canary

[curlyfries81]

I was being ironic, bednobs. 

There's plenty of women on the international gastronomy scene now, Canary.  Be afraid, be very afraid... 😄

Anyway, ideas please...

So get on with the job of demolishing that glass ceiling then, it's taking you long enough.

Ox cheeks, slow cooked in wine, casserole style with mashed spuds 😁

Slow cook them (there is a strip of fat that normally goes thru a cheek and slow cooking releases that flavour) and then use in a pie - this works nicely and is a very easy hot crust pastry.

The default method seems to be braised in red wine. I'd try it with polenta.

I'd be tempted to try this Moroccan version...

Just wanted to say thanks for the lovely suggestions posted here. Slow-cooking / braising seems to be the way to go, so it's just a case of choosing what dish we want to end up with.
