Oxtails in the culinary world are classified as 'Offal' or the non-muscular pits and pieces of an animal, in this case, beef. These pieces of the animal were a more affordable way for the working-class people to enjoy meat. However, pieces like the oxtail tend to be quite challenging, so they often made soups and stews. However, the flavors of these offal bits are incredible because they are made up of bones and connective tissues that are rich and flavorful. Oxtail Soup in Trinidad is another typical street food shared amongst family or friends after a night of adult beverages. This recipe is a great full-bodied soup that eats like a meal packed full of vegetables and even more flavor.
To shorten the cooking time, you will want to pull out your pressure cooker, if your not in possession of one the results will be the same with a little more time and tenderness add to the soup.
Tips: Caribbean Pumpkin is used for this recipe, but if not available you can substitute for Butternut Squash.
