Cow leg or cow foot as commonly known here in Lagos Nigerian is delicious to eat in soups, sauces and stew. Cow leg is also called bokoto.

This is one dish that is totally delish and Nigerians in diaspora misses so much. Sourcing for bokoto is not a problem, the issue is cooking it.

This is because of how long it takes to tenderize the meat. This recipe will surely solve your worries, all you need is a pressure cooker or slow cooker, but it just takes longer with slow cooker.

The great benefit about this meat is that it’s very crunchy and chewy so it’s a healthier option for people who don’t want pure beef.

It is also very sweet when cooked with the right ingredient and to the right tenderness, you don’t want it to be too soft or too hand, just in the middle.

Great for all occasion especially if you have some friends for dinner and want to heat up the body a little bit.

You can serve it alone or with white rice, boiled yam or plantain then cool off with chilled beer or wine.
