onions, garlic, thyme, hot pepper and salt let simmer until
oxtail is tender. Add additional water if necessary. Add
butter/lima beans. Lower heat, cover and simmer again for 10
minutes.
Method

Place Easy Bake
flour and salt in a medium bowl. Work mixture with hands while
adding enough water to bind, making a stiff dough. Roll into 1
inch long pieces, drop into boiling stew peas or soup. Boil
until they float or add them during the last 20 minutes of the

cooking time for these Jamaican oxtails should take about an
