Coda alla vaccinara

One of the most famous dishes of Roman cooking is braised oxtail with celery, a typical example of the robust cuisine of this pastoral area. The work of butchering animals in Lazio was done by the vaccinari, or "cow men," who were compensated for their labor with the animal's hide, including the tail and cheeks.
