Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 4 cups cool water
• 2 pounds goat stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Stir together the water, lime juice, and goat meat in a large container. Let stand for 10 minutes, then drain the meat in a colander, and squeeze out as much water as possible.

Step 2

Heat the canola oil in a large skillet until smoking over medium-high heat. Add the drained goat meat, and cook until browned all over, about 7 minutes. Stir in the onion and bell pepper, cook until the onion has softened, about 3 minutes, then stir in the tomato paste. Pour in the water, vinegar, and soy sauce; season with nutmeg, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed to prevent sticking.
