[@Happygirl-4-09b]

@@slimthickaz. I wouldn't agree... their dish is very old very authentic and they do enjoy it... there's no coconut milk and no seasoning and our dish is the best and so many are googling this dish and they can't get it right.

[@slimthickaz.]

​@@Happygirl-4-09bI don't know the history of their dish, but I don't believe they are the same or related. There are rice and bean dishes all over the world. With ours, we add coconut, thyme, scallion, scotch bonnet and salt (I'm sure you know that). With theirs, they use these leaves that make the water turn red and baking soda. I'm not sure which came first as rice doesn't originate in the Caribbean or Africa. I believe ours came first since rice must have came onto the island through the Chinese.

[@Happygirl-4-09b]

@@slimthickaz. I will reach but it's different they never say it's rice and peas and I didn't know about it until I saw on KZbin and realized it is similar... they enjoy it like we enjoy our rice and peas and if our ancestors are from Africa ...there will be similarities in culture and food etc.

Use brown sugar instead of white when making browning. You have to stir until the sugar blooms and looks foamy.

It is great to know that Oxtails are cooked in so many other countries and it’s not only a Jamaican dish! As a Caribbean Islander, each place has it’s own oxtails recipe and they all taste delicious, but different! love it! Please, no enriched rice! I use, basmati or jasmine rice, healthy yummy!

[@VicFM]

Naw. Black Americans always cook oxtails

[@WastrelWay]

I had a roommate in college of Serbian extraction who made oxtails the Serbian way. They were terrible :-) but I had never seen him cook before, so there's that.

[@slimthickaz.]

I wonder who did it first because it wasn't those wp. They considered it garbage. Our ancestors took that and made a dish out of it. I think it was Americans and Caribbeans who ate it first. I believe it is a slv dish. I don't believe Africans ate this before us.

Closely related to the habanero, so if you're familiar with that level of fruitiness and heat, a scotch bonnet will be close

[@ConflictedSwitch]

A five-gallon bucket works just fine as a compost bin at our house.

[@lesareid9432]

No use of white sugar in my cooking, better to use dark brown sugar - a better choice. There is no need for the browning because when you brown the meat and braise the oxtail with a small portion of liquid, adding acid needed to tenderize the meat; the brown from the bottom of the pot will color the oxtail. Lady, please say you are making your version of rice n peas but not Jamaican rice n peas , no no no. Am very sensitive to the Jamaican name.

[@JustAThought155]

The Jamaican Oxtail meal looks lovely. The collage of spices would create a very layered complexity to the dish, in my opinion. I also suspect the taste of the oxtails are absolutely camouflaged by the combined spices/ingredients. Sadly, at a very young age, I was exposed to a few oxtail dishes, and to this day-I’m in my sixties-I have an extreme taste aversion for that meat, and that is due to the way the meat was cooked.🤢🤢🤢🤢!!! P. S. Should the scotch bonnet pepper be pricked for the peas dish as well?

[@TraceyJean]

You can prick the pepper in the rice if you like. It could explode otherwise and then you'd end up with the seeds spread throughout your rice, and that is the hottest part of the pepper.

In more than 50 years never heard of the pepper exploding in the pot. It's usually added whole and intact and adds flavor without the heat.

[@lorin80]

Exploding is the same thing as pepper bursting in a pot. if it bursts that pot is fucked- you cannot eat it unless you're very good at eating pepper. At which point you should just eat pepper and forget making a dish

[@annhans3535]

Maybe, because you love the heat and never payed mind to the bursting.

If you know what you're doing your pepper don't burst

[@nerffej]

The seasoning they used for the ox tail is essentially the same for brown stew chicken.

[@bmhigginbotham]

Just an FYI, oxen are cows. Oxen are bovines used as draft animals (beasts of burden), which is how most cattle would have been used in times before. It’s only more recent that we would have cattle specifically for beef production.

1) need some green seasoning for the oxtail, 2) peas over cooked and too soft, 3) liquid to rice ratio is off and rice looks over done and mushy. Al dente peas & grainy rice that can be fluffed

[@lorin80]

I like the attempt at making oxtail. very commendable. However the beans were cooked too long. At first you shouod cook them just to el Dente, so that they can continue to soften when added to the rice. I'm pretty sure it tastes good but Let's try rice and peas again. But I like the effort. thank you for showcasing our Jamaican dishes. I look forward to seeing more.

[@alexmarsh-adams3922]

Errrrm so the only reason she's washing the meat is because of bone fragments. Ladies! A word of advice. Just invite a Jamaican chef to shed some authenticity to this iconic dish.😮😮😮. You must wash the meat, especially chicken with lemons or vinegar. Brown the Oxtails with a little cooking oil, by placing all the meat in a Dutch pot, constantly turning them until brown. Browning tends to have a sweet background taste that gives off a sugary yucky taste. Once browned off add hot water to cover all the meat. Turn down the heat really low & let simmer for about 1-2 hours. Add more seasonings and maybe some Spinners, I myself prefer Butterbeans.👍🏿👏🏿
