There have been times I miss Nigeria so bad that I want to fly immediately, and then I pull back and pull out recipes like this, either by tweaking an existing one or developing a brand new one using food item that reminded me home. This is one of such! It is one of Nigeria's bar snack food, perfect anyday and even better in cold weather with mostly fresh palm wine (tapped from palm tree), very cold beer or desired non alcohol beverage...
I seasoned chick feets with salt and freshly ground black pepper, curry powder, garlic powder and oil. Rubbed all together and baked in a pre heated 450 degree Fahrenheit for 25 minutes. In the mean time, heat another sauce pan, add 1tbsp of oil, saute diced carrots, fresh thyme, garlic, ginger, red bell pepper, habanero pepper till softened. Transfer to blender and puree. Add 2 tbsp of oil in same pan add julienned onions, green and red bell peppers and blended mixture. Add baked chick feets, deglaze baking pan with water and add to pan. Stir to combine, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve hot or warm with desired cold beverage. No cutlery needed, only napkins Ohoooo...Naija!
