Place oxtail in a 6-8 qt slow cooker or Instant Pot.

Arrange the yuca, squash and Cubanelle pepper around the beef in a single layer.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, 1/2 cup of water, cilantro, garlic, oregano, and Baklouti Olive Oil and pour all over the meat and vegetables.

Cover and cook on low until the meat is tender and easy to pull apart (6-8hrs).

Meanwhile, thinly slice the red onion – set aside.

Divide into bowls and top with pickled (drained) red onions.
