Chop the onion and lard. Sauté them in a small pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, then add the oxtail and deglaze with a glass of white wine.
Coarsely chop the celery and immerse it in boiling water for a few minutes. Drain the celery and set it aside.
Continue preparing the sauce by adding the tomato paste and peeled tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and cook over low heat for about 4 hours.
