Good Evening Steemians!
Today I prepared some traditional oxtail rice and peas,that was delicious!
Here's how I done it.
Let's get started!
What you'll need
-Saucepan/Frying Pan/Oxtail meat/Mixed Herbs/Vegetables/Garlic/Water/Rice/Onions/Green Pepper/Red kidney Beans/Basil & parsely/salt/black pepper/Anything else you may desire :)
Stage 1:Marinating the meat! (Garlic,Onions,Mixed herbs,soy sauce,Olive oil,pinch of salt,black pepper)
Firstly I marinate the oxtail meat.By taking finely chopped onions,spring onions garlic cloves,mixed herb seasoning and 2 teaspoons of olive oil with a pinch of salt.This stage you will most definitely have to get hands on with the seasoning ensuring all the herbs have coated the meat.
Stage 2:Cooking the oxtail (Frying pan,olive oil,garlic cloves,marinated oxtail)
Now you'll need to take your frying pan and add some olive oil to the pan base whilst allowing chopped garlic cloves to fry for 2 minutes.Then add your oxtail to the pan on mild heat whilst contintuing to add boiling hot water and stir until the meat is really tender.Allow the meat to boil in hot water for 90 minutes.
Stage 3:Preparing vegetables.(Tomato,Spring Onions,Green Pepper,Onions,Carrots)
Finely chop your vegetables!
Stage 4:Adding to the oxtail stew!
Now our oxtail should be cooking nicely on mild heat.Perfect time to add our veg!
Mix the vegetables with the boiling oxtail and allow to boild for 15 minutes.During this stage you can add basil and parsil to add more flavour.
Stage 5:Preparing the rice!
Firstly take one can of red kidney beans,half a pint of water,finely chopped garlic,pepper,spring onions and white onions add all of these ingredients to a saucepan and allow to boil for 10 minutes.Once the pot is beginning to boil add your rice and allow the rice to cook for 30 minutes until soft.
Finally!
Turn off the stove and share out your delicious Jamaican Oxtail rice n pea'!
