Beef Or Ox Cheeks

[curlyfries81]

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

[Canary42]

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 😁

[Barmaid]

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...
