cow skin

🥗Healthier: chicken skin

💰Cheaper: pork skin

Chicken skin offers a leaner option, while pork skin is more accessible.

Clean cow skin thoroughly and cut into manageable pieces.

Boil cow skin in water for 1-2 hours until tender.

Drain and rinse cow skin under cold water.

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

Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in thyme, pimento seeds, and scotch bonnet pepper; cook for another 2 minutes.

Add cow skin back to the pot along with carrots and bell peppers.

Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients; season with salt and black pepper.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes until flavors meld.

Adjust seasoning to taste; add lime juice just before serving.

Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
