Ingredients

  • 1 lb goat meat
  • ½ cup white distilled vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ cup cooking oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 6 roma tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 Serrano chilies (see notes)
  • 2 tablespoon julienned ginger
  • ¼ cup cilantro

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the meat in a mixture of the vinegar and water and set it aside in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes. (see notes)
  2. Remove the meat, rinse it, and pat it dry.
  3. Heat the cooking oil in a pan and saute the garlic and ginger paste for about 30 seconds.
  4. Add the meat and saute until its no longer pink.
  5. Add 2 cups of water, cover and let it simmer for 45 minutes.
  6. After 45 minutes, uncover and dry out all but ½ a cup of water.
  7. Place halved Roma tomatoes in an even layer over the meat, cover and steam for 10 minutes on low heat.
  8. Uncover, test to see if the tomatoes have softened and gently peel away and discard the skin using a pair of tongs.
  9. Slice the green chilies in half lengthwise and add them, along with the salt and black pepper to the meat and saute for 10 minutes, to break down the tomatoes.
  10. Add the julienned ginger and saute for 2-3 minutes.
  11. Turn the stove off, mix in the cilantro, and serve.

Notes

  • Serrano chilies: These are the best chilies to use for this recipe. However, if you have trouble sourcing them, use jalapenos instead.
  • The vinegar: This is an essential step and helps tenderize the meat. Soak the meat in this for a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 2 hours.
