How to make Nigerian Meat Stew (Obe Eran)

I am retiring from eating chicken, I've been eating chicken like they were getting extinct or something. I don't know what it is with black folk and chicken, for real mehn!

I decided to make meat stew with an array/ assortment of meats.

To make Nigerian meat stew, here's what you'll need:
4-6 pieces goat meat
4-6 pieces ox-tails
4-6 pieces beef
4-6 pieces honeycomb shaki/ tripe
4 pieces cow's foot/leg
2 m red bell peppers
1 m red onion
2-3 habaneros
2 m tomatoes
3 garlic cloves
2 knorr cubes
3 tbsps Goya Adobo seasoning w/pepper
2 tbsps curry powder
1 large bay leaf
1/2 cup palm oil
1/2 cup canola oil


In pot, add meats except shaki/ tripe and cow's foot
Pour seasoning over
Add to pot over medium heat
Don't add water, let sweat for 30 mins
Once time has elapsed, add 4 cups water
Slice 1 s red onion and 2 garlic cloves into mix
Let boil over medium heat for 1.5-2 hours
In another pot, add shaki/tripe and cow's foot
Add water to cover top of tripe and cow's foot
Let boil for 2.5-3 hours over medium heat
Using pot with goat meat etc, once soft, remove, drain stock and set aside
Blend red bell pepper, garlic, onions, tomatoes and habanero
Add oils to pot
Let get hot (should be smoking)
Add blended mixture to pot
Let fry/cook (still over medium heat) for 30-45 minutes
Fry goat meat, oxtails, beef (optional)
At this point, the tripe and cow's foot should be very soft
Remove, set aside
Reduce heat to low for blended pepper mix
Add (fried) meats and tripe, cow's foot
*you can add the stock if you want or just add some water instead*
Since meat was well seasoned, there might be no need to add more seasoning
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (more knorr etc)
Let cook another 10 minutes
Turn off heat
Let stand 5 mins before serving

For those who haven't had goat meat before, it's relatively gamey and tripe/ cow's foot have a gelatinous texture. Sounds gross but they're very tasty when cooked right. If all that is not your cup of tea, just use regular beef and ox-tails, it's the stew that really makes it anyway!

This is usually eaten with white rice, beans, plantains.

Enjoy...
