How to cook isiewu without goat brain

I cooked this isi ewu without the brain. Each time
I cook, my girls refuse to touch  because of the goat brain they see being pounded. They promised they’ll eat only if the brain is not added. I found a way of making it without the brain. It gave another great taste.

 
Uziza or mint leaves can be added. I didn’t add here because, there were no green vegetables at home.
Palm oil was very little with the heat reduced.

 Ingredients:

  1. Butchered Goat head without the brain
  2. Water
  3. Salt
  4. Seasoning
  5. Onion
  6. Palm oil
  7. Pepper sauce

 

Boiled goat head cooks in palm oil

Procedure: how to cook isi ewu without goat brain 

  1. Boil washed goat head with salt, onion and seasoning until tender
  2. Remove from stock and add to a little palm oil in a pot or fry pan
  3. Add roughly ground pepper or pepper sauce and check for salt
  4. Stir until meat cooks well in palm oil
  5. Serve with some juice.
The absence of the goat brain encouraged even the kids to eat.

  7. If d cow leg is too hard, place a fork at d bottom of d pot. It makes it boil and soften faster. Nkwobi is just like isi ewu.

  8. @Young awesome mum…its ok if u sieve,bt if u leave d potash in d water a wyl by d tym u r ready 2 use it,it wud hv settled 2 d bottom of d bowl so u can easily pour out d water witout pouring out particules of d potash,all d same it works.
    @Lizzy…yes nkwobi is mostly made wit cowleg or tail bt cos I'm nt a bone lover,i lyk 2 add some fleshy parts 4 easy chewing n no much struggles. Lyk I said,I dnt knw d english names 4 ehuru n ugba bt if u go 2 d market n ask,u shud/must find dem(ehuru is mainly used 4 peppersoup so peppersoup spice sellers shud have dem)…potash is also known as akawun(if dats d name u knw).
