Cooking Steps

  1. Prepare the Oxtail

    1. Rinse the oxtail with hot water to clean it thoroughly.

  2. Sauté the Vegetables

    2. In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat and sauté garlic, diced tomato, onions, bell pepper, and sliced sausage until softened.

  3. Combine and Simmer

    3. Add the oxtail to the pot along with the red wine, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you prefer. Pour in enough water to cover the oxtail completely. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender (you can also use a pressure cooker for faster cooking).

  4. Cook the Roots

    4. While the oxtail is cooking, boil the yucca, taro root (or potatoes), and small onions in separate pots until tender.

  5. Combine and Garnish

    5. Once the oxtail is tender, mix in the boiled yucca, taro root, and onions. Finally, add the watercress and stir gently to allow it to wilt slightly before serving.

  6. Serve and Enjoy

    6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
