Oxtail is gelatin-rich meat, usually slow-cooked as a stew or braise. Across the Caribbean it is stewed with lima or butter beans and served with rice and peas. In Brooklyn it follows the West Indian community: Likkle More Jerk stews it with carrots and lima beans, Fat Fowl's St. Lucian-born chef Shorne Benjamin turns it into a grilled cheese, and on Labor Day 2026 a Trinidadian-flagged stand on Eastern Parkway sold oxtail with pelau and cabbage for $20.
