Notes

  • If you want to tame the heat, scrape off the seeds and veins of the chili peppers before chopping them.
  • Cooking time varies according to the age of the goat. The older the goat, the longer it cooks. 
  • Once you add the vinegar, allow it to simmer uncovered and without stirring for about 3 to 5 minutes to tone down the acidic punch.
