Elaboración paso a paso
- Preparation
- Soak the beans in cold water overnight OR place beans in a small saucepan with 1 cup of water and cover. Bring to a boil and turn off heat. Allow to sit for 1 hour covered with the heat off.
- In a heavy skillet brown the oxtails in lard. Place them in a large (about 6 quart) stove top casserole or stock pot. Add all the remaining ingredients except the water and beans.
- Then, add just enough water to cover the contents of the pot, this should be about 2 cups more or less. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
- Drain the beans and add to the stock pot. Continue cooking covered for an additional 1 1/2 hours.
- Stir occasionally and add additional water if necessary, you do not want the pot to dry out.
- If you like a thick stew, remove the lid during the last half hour of cooking.
