Yum This sounds fantastic!! Definitely going to try this out!

It's not diet food by any stretch, but I love doing an oxtail stew. I've also subbed out the oxtails for a pot roast. My recipe is spicy and aromatic, like Caribbean Jerk type seasonings. Usually oxtail stew isn't done spicy but I'm a chile-head so I did more of a jerk style.

in a skillet, brown a pot roast/oxtails in some oil on all sides, sprinkling with salt and pepper, til a good crust has formed.
put it in the crock pot:

Add to the pan drippings
1 large onion, diced
2-3 good sized carrots, sliced up
1 bell pepper, sliced
a 1-2" piece of ginger grated
optional- chile peppers such as Scotch Bonnets, if you want it more jerk style. I've used up to 6 Bonnies in this recipe, it'll light you up if you are not used to it. 1 would probably be more than enough for a lot of people or you could sub out a mild chile like a jalapeno. Dice up the chiles however you like, I kinda go for a finer mince so it incorporates throughout the sauce.
Cook it for just a couple minutes, mainly to get the tasty bits from the meat out of the pan and to get a sweat going on with the veggies.
Take a beer and pour some into the pan to deglaze, and then add the veggie mix onto the meat in the crock pot.

At this time add:
1 TBS dry thyme
1 TBS ground allspice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

the rest of the beer
1tsp browning liquid (like kitchen bouquet)
a little more salt and pepper

Give everything a good stir, put the crock pot on high and let it do it's thing for a few hours, until the meat is tender and nearly falling apart. Stir it occasionaly and test the seasoning.

Take a small bag of frozen lima beans and toss them in and let it go for another half hour or so, till they are cooked but not mushy.

You can serve it with rice, or a more traditional peas and rice, or anything you like to soak up the gravy.

would like to keep for latter

5-7 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Any kind of seasoning you want.

1) Put chicken breasts in crockpot, and fill enough water to slighty cover all the chicken breasts.

2) Put as much seasoning as you want. I use Ms. Dash seasonings and anything with no salt.

Cook on low for 6 hours.

Take all chicken out and shred it up.

That's plenty of chicken to eat for the week in many different ways. You can eat it over rice or noodles, or you can make a sandwich or wrap with it. It's a great way to cook chicken breast.

I love this recipe and it freezes great!
