Add a bit of chicken bouillon for flavor.

Mix the seasonings with the lamb well.

Cover the pot and let it boil.

After about 25 minutes, check the meat and see how it looks.

Let it boil for another 30 to 40 minutes, adding hot water as needed.

After about 2 hours of boiling, check the meat; it should be tender.

Turn off the heat and let it sit for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve the pepper pot with Guyanese plait bread or hard bread.
