Cow Skin RecipeOrigin: West Africa Period: Traditional |
|
Cow skin is an essential ingredient of many West African 'soups' (stews). If you do not wish to use this you can omit from the recipes but it's actually quite tasty and adds its own flavour to the soup. However, cow skin requires considerable preparation. The same method can be used to prepare tripe as well. You can mix the tripe and skin (as here) or cook them separately. Ingredients
5 6x6 cm squares of cow skin 
Cow Skin Preparation:Method:Add 1.5l of water to a large stock pot and bring to the boil. Add the salt and the bicarbonate of soda, mix-in well then add the cow skin and tripe. Boil for 2.5 hours until the skin begins to soften. Remove the flesh and tripe from the water, place in a bowl and season with black pepper. Allow to cool completely then place in the fridge until required (this will store for 2 or 3 days and can be prepared well beforehand). |
