1. Heat half the extra virgin olive oil in a large saucepan. Add ox tail, ribs and fry for a few minutes, turning, to brown well.
2. Remove meat and set aside. Add remaining olive oil followed by the onion, celery, bay leaves and cook until softened.

4. Add the passata to the pot and bring to the boil, reduce the heat. Have your oven pre-heated to 160 deg. Place lid on top of the saucepan and cook in the oven for 3 hours. Every hour remove lid and give it a stir. Make sure if your oven seems to be drying the sauce out lower the temperature. For the last hour of cooking add the sausages.
5. Once cooked, Lift the meat out of the pot onto a serving plate and keep warm. Separate all the meat from the bones and add meat back to sauce. With the sausages just chop them up and also add back to pot. Discard bones.
