2. 2

   Add the minced scotch bonnet pepper, chopped onion, bouillon cubes, and salt to the pot.

3. 3

   Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 2-2.5 hours, or until the cow foot is very tender. Drain and set aside.

   حوالي 2 س 30 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Cooking time can vary greatly depending on the cut and age of the cow foot. Pressure cooking can significantly reduce this time.

4. 4

   In a separate large pot or bowl, pour in the palm oil.

5. 5

   Stir in the dissolved potash mixture until the palm oil thickens and turns into a yellowish paste (this is called 'ncha').
