Here's a simple and delicious peppered goat meat recipe:
### Ingredients:
- 2 lbs (about 1 kg) goat meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, minced
- 3-4 scotch bonnet peppers, chopped (adjust to taste)
- 2 bell peppers (red and green), chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup beef or goat broth (or water)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
### Instructions:
1. **Marinate the Meat:**
- In a large bowl, combine the goat meat, half of the chopped onions, half of the minced garlic, half of the minced ginger, thyme, curry powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Mix well and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
2. **Cook the Meat:**
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the marinated goat meat and brown it on all sides. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
- Add the broth or water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer. Cook until the meat is tender, about 1-1.5 hours. You may need to add more water if it dries out before the meat is fully cooked.
3. **Prepare the Pepper Sauce:**
- While the meat is cooking, blend the scotch bonnet peppers, remaining garlic, and ginger to a paste.
- In a separate pan, heat a little oil over medium heat.
- Add the remaining onions and sauté until translucent.
- Add the blended pepper paste and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. **Combine and Cook:**
- When the meat is tender, add the chopped tomatoes and bell peppers to the pot.
- Pour the cooked pepper sauce into the pot with the meat and mix well.
- Let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
5. **Serve:**
- Serve hot with rice, plantains, or any side of your choice.
Enjoy your delicious peppered goat meat!
