Braised Goat Stew.

It's what's for dinner.

I started with this:


Goat meat in a cumin/oregano/garlic/beer marinade. Yummy.

Then I used these:


An onion. A pepper. And achiote.


Achiote is this seedlike, nutlike thing. It is frequently used as a colorant and flavorant in food (esp. with rice) and comes in many forms, including powder and oil.


Brown the meat and throw it all together in a saucepan.


Blend up a mixture of cilantro, tomatoes, tangy naranjilla fruit, and hot ají peppers. And more beer, which isn't pictured. A word to the wise, don't just throw in a bunch of the peppers without testing to see how spicy they are. Unless you're not afraid of picante.


Strain the mixture, then add it to the pot along with some cane sugar and spices. Let it simmer for a while.

Watcha doin'?
Stewin'.


Serve hot over rice.
