Instructions
- 1 Clean and trim excess fat off oxtails. Stem and seed habanero peppers.
- 2 Combine 1 habanero pepper, onions, bell peppers, scallions, ginger, thyme, garlic, and bouillon in the bowl of a food processor. Blend to a paste-like consistency.
- 3 Rub oxtails with 1/2 cup of paste, jerk seasoning, browning sauce, and soy sauce in a large bowl. Massage mixture deep into oxtails. Cover, refrigerate, and marinate 8 hours or overnight.
- 4 Remove from refrigerator and let stand until room temperature, about 30 minutes. Remove oxtails from marinade. Reserve marinade.
- 5 Heat oil in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. Add oxtails, browning on all sides, about 6 minutes. Add reserved marinade and ketchup. Cover and cook until warmed through, about 15 minutes. Add water, remaining habanero pepper, allspice, and bay leaf. Cook over medium heat until meat is tender, stirring often to prevent sticking, 2 to 3 hours.
- 6 Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Reduce heat and let simmer, 15 to 20 minutes. Add beans and tomatoes and simmer until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes more.
