    As Autumn arrives, a perfect dish. Have made this dish annually for 3 years. I would not alter any of the ingredients. After building the soup, I transfer from the dutch oven to a slow cooker to work its magic. Finishing with the lobster and plaintain is worthy of a feast. The soup alone is wonderful... I like to serve it with a medium grain Calrose rice. This dish reminds me of something I might find in a Mom & Pop diner in Hilo Hawaii. Aloha, and Bon Appetit!

    My family is from the Caribbean and oxtails is a staple meat for special gatherings. This soup/stew is so wonderfully different than we make. Everyone LOVE IT. The only addition is I added potatoes (2 peeled & cut up for the last 20 mins.

    I didn't make the lobster, tomato jam or fry plantains. And I made some adjustments to the remaining portion.

    I added 2T cocoa and didn't use the tomato paste (I've always been told that beans won't cook soft if tomatoes are added before the beans are soft. I intended to add the paste, but like this flavour. I also didn't use the beer (I had a 1994 bottle of triple bock I decided to try. I've only eatten two of the very small tail portions and I'm full! This is filling/rich and yummy. The heat level is under the other flavours. It builds a bit, but isn't hot, IMHO.

    I'm thrilled with this recipe and certainly plan to make it again. The recipe isn't complicated, the tail isn't expensive. It does take a bit of time, but mostly it cooks allowing the cook to do other things. ;-

    I have been a fan of ox-tail stews for a long time. In fact I served ox-tail stew to a medeival historical recreation feast which which had125 people.

    This recipe stands head and shoulders above any other recipe I have tried.
