Boil the seasoned goat meat for about 2 hours until nicely cooked.

3

Fry the boiled goat meat in oil until browned, about 5 minutes, reserving the stock from boiling.

Reduce the oil in the pan after frying the meat, reserving some for later use.

7

Sauté onions in the pan for about 2-3 minutes until sweet.

8

Add the boiled-down pepper mix to the pan and let it boil down for about 10-15 minutes to reduce liquid and prevent splattering.

Season the pepper mix with salt, all-purpose seasoning, and mixed herbs, cooking for another 10 minutes until the oil settles on top.

10

Add the reserved broth from boiling the goat meat back into the pan.
