👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
If using bone-in goat meat, trim excess fat. If using boneless, cut into 1.5-inch cubes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the goat meat in batches until well-seared on all sides. Remove meat and set aside.
- 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- 4
Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- 5
Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing them to break down and form a paste.
- 6
Add coriander powder, cumin powder, crushed cardamom pods, whole cloves, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf. Stir for 1 minute until spices are fragrant.
- 7
Return the browned goat meat to the pot. Pour in the broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Ensure the meat is mostly submerged.
- 8
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for at least 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the goat meat is very tender. Check periodically and add more broth or water if it becomes too dry.
- 9
Once the meat is tender, remove the lid and simmer for another 15-20 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- 10
Remove the whole spices (cinnamon stick, bay leaf, cardamom pods, cloves) before serving, if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve hot with ugali, rice, or chapati.
