Rabo de toro is the slow-braised oxtail in red wine, garlic and bay, a Granadina classic at every tapeo bar and a stew that improves overnight.
Rabo de toro is an Andalusian stew that goes back to the citys bullring tradition, using the tails from the Corpus Christi corridas. The dish moved into restaurant menus across Granada in the 1950s as bullfighting culture peaked, and it remains canonical at Antigua Bodega Castaneda, Las Tinajas and Mirador de Morayma. The dish is braised at least 4 hours; the meat falls from the bone when cooked correctly, and the stew is finished with a Granada-province tinto.
