  • Ha thanks, I was suppose to make panzanella this weekend but the weather has been so meh, that I went and bought pork belly to cheer myself up, still have leftovers.

    There is a secret ingredient that goes in oxtail and butter bean stew. It has an aniseed / licorice flavour.

    I’m on a mission to find this, then prepare this stew. People bang on about rice/peas, jerk chicken. But this is a well kept secret (usually family recipe) and much loved dish from the West Indies.

    Any clues to this secret ingredient much appreciated xx

  • Is it not just plain anise seed? It's used in Indian and French cooking, and given both nation's culinary influences to the region, that would make sense.
