Cow Foot Souse
Ingredients
4 lbs cow foot/cow heel
1 1/2 tbsp seasoned salt or table salt
1 tbsp bouillon
1 tbsp complete seasoning
1 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tbsp green seasoning
For the pickle
4 cups hot water
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp bouillon
1 tbsp complete seasoning
1 tsp black pepper
1 large Cucumber
1 small red onion
1 small yellow onion
6 colored habernero peppers (or peppers of choice)
Chopped scallions
Chopped parsley
lime slices (optional )
Instructions
Using instant pot add some water just enough to cover the whole food
Add the seasonings
Add some vinegar
Add some green season
Add water, cover and allow it to pressure for about one hour. This is basically like a pickle, so we’ll be creating the pickle juice
Now add some hot water to a large dish and then add lime juice, salt, sugar, the seasonings, and start adding the vegetables.
So once we add all the ingredients, we’ll go in with the vegetables, and you want to mix it in. Make sure everything is well combined. and then we’ll start adding the cooked cover food
Garnish with fresh green onions and parsley
Notes
Cover and allow it to rest for about 6 hours or so for best results. If you eat it right away it will not taste good, it will be bland and the flavours will not get to marinate. You have to allow this to sit and once you eat it later it will be absolutely amazing.
Some people may use that water that they pressured the meat in, but I don’t. I like to discard that and make my own pickle juice fresh. (Candy Tha Glam Cook)
