My sister in-law told me about this years ago. Still not one of my favorites, but she loves it! Definitely something different!
Mash garlic in salt. Combine with flour and pepper. Dredge ox tails in mixture. Brown on all sides in hot oil. Add onions and hot water. Cover and simmer about 3 hours. Skim off fat and remove bones.

This is a nice hearty soup especially for cold nights! Can be served over a side of rice or French bread. Requires little prep time and cooks easily in an instant pot.
