Wash the oxtail with lemon or vinegar to remove any rawness.

Season the oxtail with fresh ingredients including thyme, scotch bonnet pepper, onions, garlic, and ginger.

Massage the seasonings into the oxtail and cover it to marinate for at least 9 hours or overnight.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot until hot.

Sear the oxtail in batches for about 4 minutes on each side until browned.

Remove the seared oxtail and set aside.

Add onions, garlic, and carrot to the pot and sauté for 30 seconds.

Add water from a kettle to the pot, ensuring the oxtail is covered.

Cover the pot and cook on medium heat for about 2 hours, adding water as needed to keep the oxtail covered.

After 2 hours, check the tenderness of the oxtail; it should be almost falling off the bone.

Add remaining onions, sweet pepper, tomato, and carrot to the pot and stir.
