African Goat Stew

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
The soul of African cuisine is the 'stew', a rich, thick ragu. Unlike Indian curry, tomato and pepper dominate here, deepened by the flavour of the meat. This dish is not for rushed weekdays: goat meat needs time for tough fibres to become gelatinous and tender. In return, you get such a full, juicy dish that embraces and warms you.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Large pot with lid
  • Sharp knife for chopping meat

Instructions

1 ✓

Dice the meat, season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a pot and fry the meat until whitened/browned. Remove to a bowl.

Tip: If you put too much meat in the pot at once, the temperature drops and the meat stews in juice instead of browning. Fry in batches!
2 ✓

In the same oil, sauté the finely chopped onion. Add the grated garlic, ginger, and spices (turmeric, coriander, cumin).

Tip: The onion picks up the tasty brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pot from frying the meat (deglazing).
3 ✓

Add the chopped pepper and tomatoes. Cook until the tomato breaks down and a thick sauce forms.

Tip: This 'stew base' gives body to the dish. The pectin in the tomato will thicken the sauce.
4 ✓

Return the meat (along with any juices!), and top up with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to lowest. Cook covered for 1.5-2 hours.

Tip: Connective tissues (collagen) in goat meat need long time and low heat to turn into gelatin – making the meat tender and the sauce sticky.
5 ✓

Once the meat is tender, remove the lid and boil off excess water if you want a thicker sauce. Sprinkle with herbs when serving.

Tip: Reduction concentrates flavours.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use a pressure cooker?
Yes! In a pressure cooker, cooking time reduces to about 40-50 minutes, and the meat becomes butter-soft.
