Barbados Pepperpot

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 2 Pigs Trotters
• 2 Lbs Oxtail
• Splash Lime juice
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 Scotch Bonnet
• 1 large Onion
• 1 Cinnamon Stick
• 2 Cloves
• Pinch Sugar
• Pinch Salt
• Sprinkling Basil
• Sprinkling Thyme
• 2 Lbs Beef

Instructions

1. Wash the stewing steak and place it in the mixing bowl with the lemon or lime juice.
2. Set that to one side; while you slice the garlic into tiny slices, slice the onion. Chop the basil and thyme.
3. Now you need to be very careful when you slice the scotch bonnet peppers; you want these in fine pieces, which you can either do with a long knife trying not to touch the pepper, or you can wear rubber gloves to cut it up. Wash your hands straight afterward and do not touch your eyes; these peppers really burn your hands and eyes if they make contact with the skin!
4. Now rinse the lime or lemon juice off the stewing steak. And cut the meat into cubes.
5. Also, chop the pig’s trotters and the oxtail into cubes.
6. Fill the large saucepan with water and bring to a boil.
7. Add the pig’s trotters.
8. When the pig’s trotters have boiled, drain the excess water, and now add the stewing steak and cover with fresh hot water.
9. Now add your chopped garlic, onion, and peppers.
10. Now add the cinnamon stick, cloves, basil, and thyme and a pinch of salt and sugar to taste.
11. Now simmer until the meat is tender. The flavor of this dish comes out over a few days and therefore gets tastier each time you reheat it; make sure you always reheat the entire pot to boiling point.
