Thoroughly clean the oxtails with lemon/lime and vinegar 2. Prepare the vegetables by dicing the onions and peppers, chopping the spring onions and the scotch bonnet and mincing some garlic and ginger 3. In a bowl, begin seasoning the oxtail with salt, pepper, all purpose, onion powder, garlic powder, all-spice, either brown sugar or browning along with the green seasoning 4. Introduce all of the vegetables to the bowl along with some fresh thyme and combine well with the oxtail 5. Leave to marinate for 6 hours or overnight 6. In a large pot, add some oil along with some brown sugar until it becomes liquid/caramelised 7. Add the oxtails to the pot to brown them for 10-15 mins or until well browned. Do this in batches if necessary 8. Put all of the oxtail in the pot along with the vegetables it was marinating with and stir for 5 minutes or so 9. Pour hot water into the pot until the oxtail is completely covered and allow to simmer for 2-3 hours 10. Add a few bay leaves and a whole scotch bonnet while simmering 11. After a few hours, add some ketchup and soy sauce along with the butter beans, stirring well to combine 12. Leave to simmer for another 30 minutes 13.
