Braised Oxtail with Cauliflower

Although I wanted to do a beef dish I felt that I shouldn't add a pickle or anything with black garlic (can't have you guys thinking I'm a one trick pony). It took me forever to end up with something that I was happy with because I was plagued by variety of super sad garnishes: I discovered that alinea's braised red cabbage totally doesn't work with oxtail, chile threads aren't exciting if you don't use hot enough peppers, and spring onions don't really sear up very nicely. After nearly all hope was lost, I stumbled on MC's crispy cauliflower dish and decided that I could basically use half of it as a garnish... And it worked!

(Above: a sad plate with like 10 garnishes that don't work. Though the microwaved carrots were pretty tasty).
