Instructions
Step 1
Wash all the produce before cutting them into desired sizes.
Step 2
Wash the cow hooves very well. If there are any hairs, remove that piece of skin with a knife. Place the hooves in a pot with about 5 to 6 cups of water and one teaspoon of salt then bring to a rapid boil for 40 minutes. Keep monitoring the broth and continue adding water as needed, cover and cook until the hooves produce their own fatty oil and become a little tender.
Step 3
After 40 minutes of boiling, add diced onions and celery to the pot and stir for about a minute to mix the ingredients.
Step 4
If using a pressure cooker, carefully transfer the contents of the pot to the pressure cooker. Add all the remaining ingredients and ½ teaspoon salt.
Step 5
If using a regular pot, add all ingredients except potatoes, to the pot + salt 1 teaspoon. Keep at a rapid boil for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally so ingredients do not stick to the bottom and burn.
Step 6
After 30 minutes (using a pot), add your peeled and diced potatoes to the pot, reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cover. Cook for another 30 minutes.
Notes
To reduce the cooking time, you may use a pressure cooker as noted in the instructions.
