I believe we need to return to a time when the things we made were built to last for generations. 🧵🪑🏠 Clothes, furniture, household items, tools — even cars — were once made with longevity in mind. People expected that what they bought or built would serve their children and even their grandchildren. That way of living created something powerful: continuity between generations. 👨👩👧👦 Children did not always have to start from zero. They inherited things that still had value. A bed that parents bought for their child could later be used by that child’s own children. Furniture stayed in families. Tools stayed in families. Homes stayed in families. 🛏️🪑🏡 Today we live in a culture where everything is disposable. We buy things quickly, replace them quickly, and throw them away quickly. I believe this is part of why we struggle with environmental problems and why so many communities are surrounded by waste and poor living conditions. 🌍♻️ I remember my grandparents living ver...
Hey fam!
Today we’re making one of those soul-warming dishes: tender chicken feet cooked down in a flavorful, rich gravy. These are full of flavor and perfect for cold days, family gatherings, or whenever you’re craving something nostalgic and comforting.
🛒 Ingredients:
-
1kg chicken feet, cleaned and nails trimmed
-
½ cup vinegar
-
Water (enough to soak and cook)
-
1 tsp paprika
-
1 tsp turmeric
-
1 tbsp Robertson’s Chicken Spice
-
1 tsp Aromat (or to taste)
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
-
1 tablespoon butter (optional – for richness)
Quarter teaspoon red pepper flakes
👩🏽🍳 Preparation:
Step 1: Clean the chicken feet
Start by washing your chicken feet thoroughly with ½ cup vinegar and water. You can soak them for about 5 minutes to help remove any unwanted odor and bacteria. Then rinse them clean.
Step 2: Boil and spice it up
Place the cleaned chicken feet in a large pot. Add enough water to fully cover them. Then add your paprika, turmeric, Aromat, Robertson’s Chicken Spice, and olive oil.
Optional: Add sesame oil and a small teaspoon of butter for extra depth and flavor.
Step 3: Let it simmer
Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally. As it simmers, the water will reduce — just keep adding a bit of water at a time to help build that beautiful, saucy gravy.
Cook until the chicken feet are soft and tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on how meaty they are.
🍽️ Serving suggestion:
Serve hot with uphuthu, rice, or even fresh bread to mop up all that gravy. And of course, enjoy with your favorite drink!
