Jamaican Oxtail

Jamaican families all congregate for dinner when oxtail is being served. Served with broad beans and rice, the oxtail is seasoned, browned and then placed in a pressure cooker until the meat is tender enough to fall off the bone.

In general, Jamaican food errs on the spicy side and the oxtail dish is no different.

Recipes usually call for scotch bonnet chili peppers, which are about 40 times hotter than a jalapeño.

Kalajosh

Considered an ancient staple due to its simplicity, the Armenian kalajosh is a lamb-yogurt dish. The lamb is cubed and sauteed with onions for a little over an hour with salt, pepper, paprika and red pepper.

When it’s through cooking, a warm yogurt and egg sauce is poured on top. It is then served on dried pieces of pita bread, which sops up the moisture from the bottom.

The vegetarian curry consists of nine vegetables or garnishes and about 11 different herbs and spices. It truly is a meal fit for a king.
