A great tasting Jamaican recipe that’s even better when mixed with butter beans. This is a recipe taken directly from our archives.
| 2 pounds chopped oxtails |
| 10 cups of water |
| 1 onion finely diced |
| 1 green onion and ripe pepper diced |
| 1 teaspoon of paprika |
| 1 tablespoon salt |
| 1 tablespoon soy sauce |
| 1 can of Jamaican butter beans |
| 3 cloves of garlic diced finely |
| 4 thyme stalks with shredded leaves |
| 5 pimento seeds crushed finely |
| ½tablespoon of vinegar |
Mix water and vinegar and wash the oxtails to remove any raw smells then place the oxtail meat in a pressure cooker with the soy sauce and the paprika with no salt. Add about 3-4 cups of the water and pressure cook the oxtail until the cooker reaches maximum levels then cook for about 3 more minutes then allow the pressure cooker to cool. Next in a medium sized sauce pan add seasonings with a tablespoon of oil and sauté for about 1 ½ minutes. Next add the Oxtail and the butter beans, then cover and cook down for about 3-5 minutes on a low stove. Next Remove and then serve. Don’t serve this recipe with a lot of gravy, it does not work well.

SUPPOSE YOU DON'T HAVE A PRESSURE COOKER TO PREPARE THE OXTAILS AND BUTTER BEANS WHAT OTHER METHOD CAN YOU USE TO REPLACE THE PRESSURE COOKER?
You can use a slow cooker on low or just stew the oxtail on low heat for about 2 hrs.

I loved this recipe. I didn't have all the ingredients I needed but I improvised and the oxtails turned out delicious, in my opinion still. I am planning to make it again and have more of the actual ingredients called for in this recipe and will give an update on whether or not it was an improvement. Thanks for this site.
