Purchase a full goat leg, which turns into about four pounds of meat.

Pre-wash the meat with orange juice (or lemon juice, lime juice, or vinegar) and wash under running water, draining well. Repeat this step three times.

Season the meat with four cloves of chopped garlic, one tablespoon of olive oil, one and a half teaspoons of salt, one tablespoon of vinegar, one teaspoon of dry oregano, and fresh ground pepper to taste. Mix well and cover, then refrigerate for a minimum of one hour.

In a large pot over high heat, add about two tablespoons of olive oil until hot.

Add two and a half ounces of diced ham and stir to brown evenly.

Add one large diced onion and cook until lightly browned.

Add one diced bell pepper (half orange and half red), one whole diced tomato, one celery stick, and one carrot, all diced. Stir and cook for about seven minutes, adding salt to taste.

Add about two tablespoons of brandy and cook for about two to three minutes more.

Add one tablespoon of capers, about twelve olives, half a teaspoon of annatto powder, and one teaspoon of paprika. Stir and cook for about three more minutes.

Add the seasoned goat meat to the pot and cook for about ten minutes.

Add half a cup of red wine and cook for about five more minutes.

Add four cups of vegetable broth and two bay leaves. Wait for the mixture to reach a boil, then cover, lower the temperature, and simmer for about an hour and a half.

After an hour and a half, add two pounds of potatoes (skin on) and raise the temperature to cook for about half an hour or until the potatoes are tender.

Remove any fat from the top of the stew if desired.

Once the potatoes are tender, turn off the heat and serve.
