Clean the cowfoot and lamb thoroughly under cold water.

Cut the lamb into chunks and soak in lime juice for 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté chopped onions, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the lamb and cowfoot to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, and scotch bonnet peppers.

Add bay leaves, thyme, black pepper, and salt to the pot.

Pour in enough water to cover the meat and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 hours until the cowfoot is tender.

Check occasionally, adding more water if necessary to maintain consistency.

Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
