Nkwobi and Isi Ewu are traditional igbo delicacies. While the latter is made using cow leg, the former is made with goat head. The base preparation, spices and garnishes are similar for both dishes. In this vegan alternative, my protein of choice is soybean and wheat-based meat alternative VChunks made by Nigerian-owned company Veggie Victory. Be sure to check them out if you are based in Nigeria or the UK.
I was blown away by the taste and texture of this meat alternative. As you will see in the video above, it's easy to prepare and extremely versatile. Perfect for adding to all types of soups, stews and as a replacement for meat in any dish.
The full recipe for this will be in my upcoming cookbook (release date tba). To get notified when it's out, you can sign up for updates here.
