The Most Amazing Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

This recipe is the perfect example of a nutritious, real food meal using non-starchy vegetables, and my favourite cut of beef - oxtail. Apart from being delicious, oxtail is perfect for stews. It adds an amazing flavour, even if you use just a few pieces together with other meat cuts. I'm lucky enough to get quality meat from a local farmer who always keeps a few pounds of oxtail for me! I made this soup in my Dutch oven but you could also use your slow cooker, or a pressure cooker.
