Cow leg stew is one of the best stew I love eating, the cow leg itself has this creamy jalatinious flavor. Cow leg stew is a staple food-cum-snack, quite popular in Nigeria. It can be prepared and eaten alone with choice drinks or sides. You can also use bokoto as a rice stew or sauce, suitable for boiled yam, plantain or any food of choice that requires a stew or sauce. I like my with white rice it’s so yummyscious. Cow leg is a very tough so you have to cook it patiently if not you won’t be able to bite through it in order word’s you won’t be able to eat it.
