NKWOBI Is a spicy Nigerian dish made from cow foot. It originates from the Igbo tribe, located in the southeastern part of Nigeria. The dish is usually prepared with a cow’s leg that’s cooked in a thick, spicy sauce, but it can also be made with a combination of cow’s tail, goat meat, and chicken.
Now let’s proceed to the preparation method.
- Pour in cleaned and chopped cow foot in a pot and add some onions.
- Add in some seasoning and some salt
- Cover and allow to simmer in its own juice for about 7 minutes
- After 7 minutes, add more water to your protein and let it cook till really tender.
- In a separate pan, add in some palm oil.
- Add in some dissolved potash (akaun)
- Stir continuously until it thickens and changes to a bright orange color like this.
- Add in some traditional locust beans (ogiri)
- Add in some chopped onions, seasoning powder, crayfish, ground calabash nutmeg (ehuru) and salt to taste.
- Mix properly and add in some scotch bonnet for heat. Mix well
- Add in some fermented oil bean seed (ukpaka)
- Finally add in your cooked cow leg and stir to combine.
- Finish off with some Utazi leaves. Enjoy with any chilled drink.
