About Oxtail stew
Oxtail stew is a rich, slow-cooked dish originating from various global cuisines, including Caribbean, African, and European traditions. It features tender oxtail pieces simmered with vegetables like carrots, onions, and celery, along with aromatic herbs, spices, and often tomatoes for depth of flavor. The collagen-rich oxtail breaks down during cooking, creating a luscious, hearty broth packed with protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc. The gelatin from the bones is also valued for supporting joint health and skin elasticity. However, oxtail is relatively high in fat, and traditional preparations often include sizable portions of oil or butter, making it less ideal for low-calorie diets. Pairing it with fiber-rich sides such as brown rice or greens can help balance its indulgent qualities while enhancing its nutritional value. Oxtail stew is celebrated for its comforting, nourishing qualities and its ability to showcase the vibrant diversity of slow-cooked cuisine.
