Drizzle a little olive oil into a skillet and add the pieces of oxtail. Let them brown on both sides, then put them in a pressure cooker. Set aside.

Remove the excess fat from the skillet used for the oxtail and return it to the heat.

Once hot, add the onion, garlic, tomato, cinnamon and cloves.
5
Take the parsley, bay leaf, thyme and rosemary, tie them with kitchen twine to make a bouquet garni, and add it to the skillet.

Cover the pot and cook for 45 minutes.
