Stewed oxtails is a rich, flavorful dish made by slow-cooking oxtail, often with vegetables like carrots, onions, and garlic, and seasoned with herbs and spices such as thyme, black pepper, and bay leaves. This dish is popular in cuisines around the world, including Caribbean, African, and Southern American cooking, and is prized for its tender meat and gelatin-rich texture. Oxtail is high in protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc but also contains a significant amount of fat due to its natural marbling. The long cooking process not only enhances its flavor but also extracts collagen, which is beneficial for joint and skin health. However, the calorie and fat content can be considerable, especially if prepared with fatty ingredients or served with heavy sides. Moderation and balanced preparation methods can make stewed oxtails a hearty, nutritious treat within a well-rounded diet.
