• 3-4lbs oxtails
• 1/2tsp salt or to taste
• 1/2tsp pepper or to taste
• 1large onion chopped
• 6cloves garlic minced
• 2tsp fresh ginger grated
• 1habanero diced
• 1/4tsp allspice ground
• 1/2tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4cup tomato paste
• 2tbsp soy sauce low sodium
• 4-6cups beef broth low sodium
• 4sprigs fresh thyme
• 2bay leaves freshly chopped
• 15oz lima beans rinsed and drained, or butter beans or white/navy beans
• 1tbsp cornstarch
• 3green onions chopped

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large braiser or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the oxtails with salt and pepper, and sear them on all sides until browned. You may need to do this in batches. Transfer the oxtails to a plate and set the oxtails aside.
2. Add the onion to the pot and cook until translucent and softened 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and habanero, then stir and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the allspice, smoked paprika, soy sauce, tomato paste, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the paste browns slightly.
3. Add the oxtails back to the pot. Stir in the beef broth, thyme, bay leaves and bring the pot to a boil. You want to have enough broth to cover most of the oxtails, so start with 4 cups and add more as necessary. Turn the heat to low and cover with a lid slightly cracked. Simmer for 2 hours, remove the lid and stir in the butter beans, then simmer for another 30-45 minutes uncovered.
4. Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Whisk the cornstarch with 1 tbsp water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the pot and increase the heat to medium, stirring until the mixture thickens. Garnish with freshly chopped green onion.
