Delicacy Hello cash readers, happy new month once again, I pray July shall bring good news for Bitcoin ๐. Anyways back to my article, my aunt's recipe of is ewu dish (Nigerians know what am talking about) is a well known dish. If you try this you will keep licking your hands and even the plates. ๐HOW TO MAKE ISI EWU (GOATS HEAD) ๐ Isi Ewu is a dish that is usually mistaken for the dish Nkwobi because they both have similar ingredients. However, just as the name rings , Isi Ewu means goat โs head which is the main ingredient and difference to Nkwobi. Peculiar to South - eastern Nigeria , a celebration is not complete in the absence of Isi Ewu . RECIPE ๐ 1 Goat head 2 teaspoon of Ehuru (calabash nutmeg) 1 handful of sliced Utazi leaves 1 teaspoon of edible potash (akaun ) 3 cubes of seasoning 2 medium- sized onions 2 tbsps of blended fresh pepper 1 cup of palm oil 1 tbsp of crayfish (optional) Salt to taste NOTE๐ Goat head has a thick bone and comes with a sooth filled skin . Be sure to tell the butcher to scrape and cut into pieces while making sure that essential parts remain whole such as the ear , tongue and the brain . The brain is set aside from the rest of the meat because it is used also as a thickener for the sauce. Before we cook , be sparing in your use of water , you need little water for the stock. PROCEDURE๐ 1. In a pot, place the meat with the brain included , adding an onion (grated), the seasoning, a tablespoon of pepper , salt , water and allow to boil until the meat is tender. 2. While the meat boils , slice the other onions into rings , dissolve potash with a little amount of water and sieve . 3. A while into the meat boiling , take out the brain and place in a small mortar , add the other spoon of blended pepper and mash. When the meat is ready , separate stock from meat . 4. Pour oil into another dry pot. Little by little , pour potash into the oil and stir with a spatula until palm oil turns yellow and thicken . 5. Add the mashed brain , the stock of the meat , ehuru, crayfish , and continue to stir until blended . 6. Place the meat into the mixture and stir. Turn on the heat, until steaming hot. 7. Garnish with sliced onion rings and utazi leaves . Serve in a small wooden mortar . Thanks for reading my article, you can also be my sponsor ๐ค
