Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the Goat the night before if you can — green seasoning, salt, a scatter of scotch bonnet — and let it marinate.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a heavy pot and burn the sugar to a dark caramel (careful: dark brown, not black) for the authentic stew base.

  3. 3

    Add the Goat immediately and turn to coat in the burnt sugar, searing until sealed.

  4. 4

    Add Coconut Oil and Garlic with the herbs and a splash of water, scraping the pot base.

  5. 5

    Cover and simmer on a low flame until the Goat is tender and the sauce has reduced and darkened.

  6. 6

    Serve hot with rice and peas, with the thick sauce spooned over everything.

Chef's tip

Let the dish rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving so the flavours settle.
