When we think of Jamaican cuisine, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the punchy, spicy flavor of our favorite jerk chicken recipe. But that’s not the only fabulous food that Jamaica is famous for.
Take oxtail for example. If you’ve never tried the rich, meaty goodness of Jamaican oxtail, you are certainly missing out. Oxtail isn’t just popular in Jamaican culture. In fact, you’ll find the meat being enjoyed throughout the world. It’s really popular as a soup in South America, West Africa, Spain and China, and it’s heavily prevalent in Indonesian cuisine too. Serve with your choices of sides.
