Scale
- 2 oxtails
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 4 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 kilo string beans

- Add the garlic and onions, cooking until clear.

- Cover with water and simmer for 2 hours for tender meat.
- Remove the oxtails, shred the meat from the bone and add the meat back into the pot, before serving.
