What it is
A rich and flavorful oxtail stew, slow-cooked in a robust tomato and red wine sauce with sofrito, bell peppers, and spices until fork-tender.
Key ingredients
Oxtail, olive oil, onions, garlic, bell peppers, tomato paste/sauce, red wine, beef broth, bay leaf, cumin, oregano, paprika, small amount of carrots (optional).
If you order it anyway
Request no potatoes, rice, or other starchy vegetables (like malanga or yuca) to be added. Confirm the tomato sauce and wine are not sweetened; ask for minimal carrots if used.
Watch out for
Carrots, red wine (though much cooks off), hidden sugars in tomato paste/sauce, served with high-carb sides (rice, plantains, potatoes).
