Directions
To cook the meat:

For the stew:
1. Roughly or smoothly blend peppers, onion and tomatoes.
2. Pour into a pot and let it cook until the liquid is dry and the mix has formed a paste.
3. Heat the oil, add some onion and fry until translucent.
4. Add a pinch of thyme to give the oil some flavor.
5. After a minute, add tomato mix to the oil. Add the meat stock and cook, making sure you stir occasionally to prevent burning, until the oil has floated to the top.
6. Add the goat meat and taste for seasonings. Leave to cook for another minute, then turn the heat off and let the goat meat soak in the stew.
7. Enjoy with plantains, fufu, rice or couscous.
