Ingredients
- 1 lemon, 1 kg goat meat, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 tbsp brown sugar or molasses, 2 tsp cloves, cloves peeled and crushed, 1 Scotch bonnet chilli, chopped, 1 celery stick, chopped, 1/2 green pepper, chopped into 1½cm chunks, 1 red pepper, finely chopped, 2 spring onions, finely chopped, 1 onion, chopped, 1 tsp gravy browning, 1-2 bay leaves, 1 tsp cornflour 1 tbsp rum (optional) bread
Instructions
- In a large mixing basin, combine the lemon juice and water. Drain the goat meat after rinsing it in lemon water. Using kitchen paper, pat the goat flesh dry. Remove from the equation.
- In a large saucepan or casserole dish over medium-high heat, heat the oil, then mix in the sugar and simmer for a few minutes, until brown and caramelized.
- Cook, stirring occasionally until the goat flesh is browned all over. Bring 1 litre of water, the spices, and the thyme to a boil, scraping off any scum that comes to the top.
- Combine the cornflour and 50ml water in a mixing bowl, then pour into the pan. Cover and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and has the consistency of single cream. Stir in the rum, then garnish with more thyme and bread on the side.
