Cow-foot pieces in orange palm-oil sauce with onion rings and chopped greens.
Nkwobi

Nkwobi is a Nigerian dish of tender cooked cow foot coated in a spicy palm-oil paste. Onion, chilli, ground crayfish and ehu, or calabash nutmeg, season the preparation. Thinly sliced bitter utazi leaves and onion rings are placed on top.[1]

The cow foot is cooked until tender and the cooking liquid has reduced. Separately, sieved potash solution is mixed with palm oil to form a thick yellow paste. The seasonings and cooked meat are stirred into it and warmed together. Nkwobi is served hot, often in a small wooden mortar, with drinks such as palm wine or beer.[1]
