CARIBBEAN OXTAIL STEW
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.

JIM HARRISON'S CARIBBEAN STEW
Steps:
- Pour the oil into a Dutch oven set over high heat, and swirl it around. Season the pork and chicken with salt and pepper, and when the oil begins to shimmer and is about to smoke, add them to the pan. Brown the pork and chicken aggressively, about 5 to 7 minutes per side, then add the pork and chicken to a bowl. Repeat with the sausages, browning them on all sides for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, then add to the bowl with the chicken and the pork. Cook the onions and garlic in the fat remaining in the Dutch oven, stirring occasionally until they soften and begin to brown, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
- Heat oven to 300. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, lemon juice, hot-pepper sauce, chicken stock, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chile powder and paprika to the onions and garlic in the Dutch oven, then stir to combine, and allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the meats to the Dutch oven, stirring and tossing them so that they are well covered with the sauce, then cover the pot, and place in the oven to cook, undisturbed, for approximately 90 minutes, or until the meats are tender and, in the case of the chicken and the ribs, pulling from the bone.

Steps:
- 1. Cut the pork into 1 inch squares. In a large pot, braise pork in the olive oil, along with chopped red onion. Brown pork. Dice tomatoes, squash, and mangos, add to pork. Add pineapple chunks, mushrooms, garlic, and mandarin oranges. For a thicker stew, drain, but keep, the juice from the pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges. Add bell pepper last so they will remain crisp.
- 2. Using plastic sterile gloves (the kind you can get at your drugstore) slice open the anaheim pepper(s), remove seeds, and mince into very tiny pieces. I like this recipe with only 1 or 2 peppers, but you may like it hotter. IMPORTANT: while wearing the gloves, do not touch your mouth, nose, or eyes.
- 3. Add brown sugar, slowly to taste until right amount of sweetness desired is achieved.
- 4. Add coconut milk and simmer for 20 minutes.
- 5. Add sage, fresh chopped basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Trying after each addition to ensure no over or under spicing occurs.
- 6. You can add 1 teasp nutmeg for a different taste. You can make this into a stir fry, I haven't tried it yet. I will put this together and have you a recipe for the stir fry within a few days. You can also use chicken with/instead of pork, or go meatless. You can also use 1-2 pounds of precooked, deveined shrimp, but add them last so the don't shrink.
- 7. Serve with rice. I like brown rice, but white, or wild rice does very well, too.
- 8. Enjoy!
