What it is
Crispy yet tender cow intestines (locally known as 'roundabout' or 'shaki'), meticulously cleaned, seasoned, and either deep-fried or pan-fried until golden. The fried intestines are then tossed in a vibrant and spicy sautéed mix of bell peppers, onions, and scotch bonnets, creating a savory and satisfying dish.
Key ingredients
Cow intestines (shaki/roundabout), Vegetable oil (for frying), Red bell peppers, Scotch bonnets, Onions, Garlic, Ginger (optional), Seasoning cubes, Salt.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no flour coating or breading is used on the intestines before frying. Request pure vegetable oil for frying, not a blend that might contain hydrogenated oils.
Watch out for
Potential for a light flour coating if deep-fried in certain restaurant styles, always confirm. Bell peppers and onions contribute natural carbs; excessive amounts should be noted.
