Method:
• Start by seasoning the oxtail with spices of your choice, like salt and pepper and a meat spice.

• Fry/sear the oxtail. Once nicely browned, set aside. In the same pot, fry your chunky-chopped onions with the celery, green peppers and fresh garlic for about two minutes.
• Add a pinch of smoked paprika to intensify the flavour, season well but not too much or it will be salty.
• Add the oxtail to the pot, stir for one minute then add boiling water to cover the meat.
• Then add whatever stock cubes, or veggie or beef stock you have chosen.
• Put the lid on and leave to simmer for about 2 hours.
• After that, add the corn and carrots, and any other veggies of your choice. Cook until meat is tender and gravy has thickened.
• Serve on a bed of creamy mash or fresh homemade bread.
