Instruction

Step 1: Marinate the Goat Meat

• Season the cleaned goat meat with your seasoning cubes, a pinch of salt, and half of the chopped onion.
• Mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring the meat is well-coated with seasoning.
• Cover the meat with foil or a lid and place it in the fridge to marinate for 2-3 hours, or overnight if you have the time. The longer, the better!

Step 2: Grill the Meat

• Once the meat has marinated, transfer it to a tray and grill it in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes, or use an electric grill for 20 minutes.
• For added flavor and moisture, drizzle some vegetable oil over the meat before grilling.

Step 3: Prepare the Pepper Mix

• While the meat is grilling, blend the scotch bonnets, chili peppers, and the remaining half of the onion to create a smooth pepper mix.

Step 4: Cook the Asun

• After grilling, cut the goat meat into smaller bite-sized pieces.
• Heat a pan on medium, add the meat, and pour in half a cup of water.
• Add the blended pepper mix to the pan, stir well, and cover to let it steam for about 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining chopped onions and sliced bell peppers for garnish.
• Adjust seasoning by adding more salt and seasoning powder if necessary, then drizzle in a bit of vegetable oil.
• Let it simmer for another 3 minutes, and voilà! Your Asun is ready to serve.

What Can You Eat Asun With?
