How To Make Oxtails Like a Haitian, Part 2: Cook and Enjoy

I saw nothing wrong with the recipe except the lowrys. On another note the mom was adlibbing too fucking much and the kid needs to be put away. Anytime you cook with lime juice, lemon or vinegar your meat will be tender. Thing is you can't eat this shit every day. That is all.
 
Just thinking how I have never been to a haitian food restaurant b4. Those oxtails look whack. Like southern soul food version, they booty. For the record, Jamaicans make the second best oxtails, Belizean oxtails are better.

You will not find oxtail in an Haitian restaurant.
 
I'll stick with griot from haitians... if I want oxtail's or a recipe -I'll go to jamaicans
 
While we're on the subject, a special "fuck you" goes out to all the Jamaican spots charging niggas 2.50 per oxtail. :hmm:

You're speaking as you are some kind of authority on Haiti or Haitian food. Plenty of Haitian restaurants serve oxtail: queue boeuf. just last week I had oxtail with calalou (okra).

Jamaicans do not make better oxtail than haitians. I am bias, I am haitian. But i would take my argument to any impartial party.

My girl is Haitian. Her recipe is better than any that I've ever had in a Jamaican spot.

as a Trini, who loves haitian food and women... (although no where as much as I love Trini food and women ;) )

I've eaten delicious home made haitian oxtails from damn good cooks, but the jamaican recipe just tastes better... its not even close...
 
oxtail aint cheap fool
that's that bullshit - oxtails used to be dirt cheap... but like chicken wings over the last 15 years because of increasing demand, now we're paying prime meat prices for what the butcher used to give away with soup bones...

Exactly. Back in high school, I could get a oxtail dinner with 2 sides for 4.99. #nolunchspecial

Here is KrafMatik's take :

Most of us love women irrespective where they are from. But, for me, no other women come close to haitian women.

Tell you what, you are right. There all sorts of Haitians and every part of Haiti got their own specialties and ways of cooking.

Now I have no idea what influences the people you know have BUT as far as my people are concerned WE do not cook oxtails you will not find it in any Haitian restaurant in Montreal and I have never seen it in Haiti where I go quite often, I actually just called a few peeps down there and asked them too.
 
This looks about right

Ingredients

1 pound beef oxtail, cut into pieces
1 large onion, chopped
1 green onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1 scotch bonnet chile pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 sprig fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup canned fava beans, drained
1 teaspoon whole allspice berries
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Directions

Toss the oxtail with the onion, green onion, garlic, ginger, chile pepper, soy sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the oxtail in the skillet until browned all over, about 10 minutes. Place into a pressure cooker, and pour in 1 1/2 cup water. Cook at pressure for 25 minutes, then remove from heat, and remove the lid according to manufacturer's directions.
Add the fava beans and allspice berries, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons water, and stir into the simmering oxtail. Cook and stir a few minutes until the sauce has thickened, and the beans are tender.
Footnotes

Cook's Note
A slow cooker may be used instead of a pressure cooker in step 1. Simply place the browned oxtail and water into the slow cooker, and cook on Low for 10 hours, or High for 6 hours. Proceed with step 2 as stated.


========================

And please let your meat soak for 2-3 min, in either lemon juice or vinegar to cut the smell and bacteria of meat or poultry
