If you haven’t noticed from the rest of my blog posts, I am pretty adventurous when it comes to food. I will try any type of food what so ever. I might be scared at times but usually at the end of the experience I have another favorite food.
One thing that I have tried that scared me was oxtail. I didn’t like the idea of eating the tail of any animal. It also didn’t help that it didn’t look very appetizing uncooked.

The first time I had oxtail; my dad tried this amazing stew recipe that I just had to share.
Even though the recipe is a Cuban recipe, the unsweetened cocoa powder that the recipe calls for gives the stew a mole taste, which is more of a Mexican flavor. Regardless, the ingredients blend well together and make the perfect meal.
The second my dad put the stew on the table, all of my doubts about oxtail faded away. The un-appetizing oxtails magically became the most appetizing thing I had seen in a while.

This stew is perfect for these cold months, it will warm you from the inside out while satisfied your taste buds.
My favorite way to eat it is over rice. The rice soaks up all of the juices by making it even tastier.
