Preparation:
Carefully pick through and discard the fat and bones from the oxtails. Place the meat in a food processor. 

Heat 2 Tbsp of butter in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add the chopped onions. Cook until translucent and lightly browned, about 5-10 minutes. Add the cooked onions to the oxtail meat in the food processor. Add 4 Tbsp more of butter, the orange juice, peppercorns, bouillon or broth, cloves and salt. Pulse until the mixture is finely minced, but not completely smooth.

Press the pâté into a crock or mold of some sort. The pâté will keep several days in the fridge, covered. 

Bring to room temperature for serving, and serve with crusty bread or crackers.
