Ingredients

For a meal serving 4–6 people, you will need:

• 1.5–2 kg goat meat, cut into chunks (preferably from the shoulder or leg for tenderness)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large onions, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2–3 fresh tomatoes, chopped
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for heat)
• Salt to taste
• 2 cups water or goat broth
• 2–3 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
• 1–2 bay leaves
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Meat

1. Rinse the goat meat under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Season the meat generously with salt, black pepper, and a bit of paprika. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 2: Brown the Meat

1. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
2. Add the goat chunks in batches, browning all sides for 3–4 minutes per batch. Avoid overcrowding the pot to ensure even browning.
3. Remove the browned meat and set aside.
