Similar to Nkwobi (cow foot in spicy sauce) and Homework (goat foot in spicy sauce), Isi ewu is more flavoursome because of the addition of the fatty brain of the goat.

Steps to make Isi Ewu:

1. Cut the goat head into pieces making sure that the essential parts: ears, tongue etc are whole cuts that is, they are not cut into pieces. - - Remove the brain and put in an aluminium foil bag then fold the bag to close just like with Nigerian Moi Moi. - - Wash the meat very well with foam and iron sponges where necessary, using a knife to scrape off the tough top skin especially on the tongue. There will also be traces of sooth from burning the fur off the goat, ensure that these are all cleaned.
2. Put the powdered potash into a bowl. Add a small quantity of water (about 4 table spoons) and stir well. Pass it through a fine sieve and set the liquid aside. - - Cut the 2 onions into 4 big chunks. - - Crack and remove the outer shell of the ehu then grind with a dry mill eg coffee grinder. - - Pound the pepper with a mortar and set aside.
3. Cook the goat head with the chunks of onion, the stock cubes and as little water as possible. Top up the water as necessary but make sure there is as little water as possible in the pot. This is because we do not want any stock in the pot when the meat is done.
4. Remember to cook the brain.
5. While the meat is cooking, slice the onion for garnishing into thin rings.
6. Cut half of the utazi into thin slices. Cut the other half into tiny pieces. The first will be used for garnishing while the latter will be added into the palm oil paste. - - When the meat is done, remove the chunks of onion, take out the brain and mash it up till smooth.
7. Add salt, stir and cook till all the water has dried. - - Set the meat aside to cool down. - - Now, pour the palm oil into a clean dry pot. - - Pour in the potash mixture (sieved) into the oil.
8. Stir with a wooden spatula as you pour the potash. You'll notice the palm oil begin to curdle and turn yellow. Keep stiring till all the oil has turned yellow. Use as little potash as possible because too much of it can upset your stomach. - - Add the pepper, mashed brain, ehu seeds and the utazi that has been cut to tiny pieces. Stir very well till they are all incorporated.
