Caribbean Oxtail Stew image

This recipe comes from "The Illustrated Food and Cooking of the Caribbean Central and South America" by Jenni Fleetwood and Marina Filipelli. I have adapted it to include pressure cooker instruction to cut down on cooking time. I also use canned beans for convenience. If using fresh, use 1 cup dried beans, soak overnight, and cook them about 1 1/4 hours in a separate pot.
