Make sure you buy the real oxtails sold at jamican or spanish markets!. Bring them home and clean them really good, then season them with all the right jamican spices!. Let season marinate the oxtails over night so that they are tender and flavorful when you cook them!. First you braise the oxtails in a big metal pot!. Once braised you pour some stock into the pot and let simmer for a few hours!. After simmering on the stove top you can then put the whole pot in the oven and let cook in the oven a little while longer until done and meat is tender to the bone!. I serve this great meal with jamican style rice and peas and a fresh salad with french dressing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I am a former chef and just happened to have worked in Jamaica at a resort hotel back in the 1980's, I would let them sit for a few hours or over night and like the one person said a slow stewing, I brown mine, then add some onions and carrots to the pot, tomato paste, thyme, garlic, allspice and a bay leaf or 2, as for stock a bit of beef broth and water, or I have used Guinness stout to or the de-alcoholized dark malta, but stock and water is fine, 3-4 hours of slow simmer!.
Peas and Rice are great, or dumplings, even mashed potatos with garlic, some sauted greens or callalo on the side, cornbread or johnnycake, but plain rice is fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
