Instructions
Cut the goat meat into bite-sized chunks and rinse thoroughly. Transfer the meat to a pot, then add salt, seasoning powder, half of the sliced onion, and enough water to cover. Stir well to combine.
Cook over medium heat for 10–15 minutes, or until the meat becomes tender. Add more water as needed to prevent burning. Once cooked, add oil to the pot and stir-fry the goat meat for 5–7 minutes, or until golden brown. Alternatively, you can grill the meat for a smoky finish.
Coarsely blend 1 red bell pepper, the scotch bonnets, and half an onion. Slice the remaining ¼ onion, along with 1 red bell pepper and 1 green bell pepper, and set aside.
Add the blended pepper mixture to the pot, along with one Knorr chicken cube, salt to taste, ginger powder, and garlic powder. Cook for 3–5 minutes, allowing the peppers to soften and release their flavor.
Finally, add the sliced onions and peppers. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes. If the sauce becomes too dry, add a splash of water to loosen it.
Serve hot with rice, fried plantain, or your favorite side dish.
Notes
Scotch Bonnets: For a gentler heat, consider using one or two scotch bonnets and removing the seeds before blending. If you want a fiery kick, leave the seeds in and use three or more. For added sweetness, toss in extra red bell peppers.
Frying vs. Grilling: You can either fry or grill the meat, it’s totally up to you. Grilling gives it a smoky, charred flavor, while frying makes the meat crispier and more caramelized. Both are delicious, just slightly different in texture and taste.
Flavor: Add tomatoes for a softer, sweeter base. Garlic and ginger bring bold, aromatic depth, and tossing in an extra Maggi cube amps up that savory, flavor.
