Oxtail & Guinness with 'hard food' a la Finley Quaye
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I'm a red meat and dark greens man generally, although I greatly admire cruelty-free cuisine. Fresh horchata made from tiger nuts has to be one of my favourite drinks and I am also very keen on acai and graviola. I'm well into African, Persian, Asian, West Indian and South American cuisine. I do a mean Carotte de Camberwell. I eat a lot of nori to counter any dairy intake as I am allergic to wheat and dairy products.
This is a lactose-free and wheat-free recipe that goes very well with boiled and steamed veg – "hard food". There's strictly no added salt – and the only additives are in the Guinness. It's old school!
Serves 2
1kg oxtail
2 sliced shallots
500g haricot beans
500ml Nigerian Export Guinness (if possible!)
2 Scotch bonnet peppers
Place all of the above ingredients into a casserole dish and bake for 6-8 hours in an oven pre-heated to 140C/gas mark 1.
For the 'hard food'
4 slices of yam, peeled
4 slices cassava, peeled
1 slice plantain, peeled
4 handfuls okra
Boil the yam, plantain and cassava for 20-25 minutes. Top and tail the okra and steam them for 5 minutes. Serve together with the casserole – and Bob's your Marley!
Finley Quaye has a new album out early next year
