goat meat

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and more affordable, while pork can mimic the texture.

1

Prepare a spice blend by toasting coriander seeds, cumin, pimento, allspice berries, and cinnamon in a pan, then grind them in a mortar and pestle.

2

Season 2 pounds of fresh goat meat with salt, black pepper, and the spice blend, and massage the mixture into the meat.

3

In a large pot, heat oil and add 2 large chopped onions (or 4 medium onions).

4

Sweat the onions on low heat for about 10 to 15 minutes until they are browned and caramelized.

5

Remove the onions from the pot and set aside.

6

Increase the heat to high, add the seasoned goat meat, the scotch bonnet pepper, and the caramelized onions back into the pot, and toss to combine.

7

Cover the pot and cook for about 15 minutes to allow the goat to release its juices.

8

Add 2 bottles of guinness beer to the pot and cover it again, allowing it to simmer for 30 minutes on low heat.

9

After 30 minutes, add 6 cups of water to the pot, cover, and let it cook for about 1.5 hours, checking every 30 minutes to ensure it doesn't dry out; add hot water if necessary.

10

Check for doneness by ensuring the bones start to separate from the meat and taste to confirm tenderness.

11

Add sweet peppers to the pot and cook for about 1 minute, ensuring they retain a fresh bite.
