Chivo en Coco - Goat Meat in Coconut Sauce

Directions

1. Cooking the goat meat: over medium heat, add half of the olive oil in a frying pan, add the ground goat meat and break down with the back of a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally until brown. Add coconut milk, cover the pan, and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally until the goat is cooked through and the milk starts to reduce, about 10 minutes.

2. Making a sofrito: While the goat meat is browning, start heating remaining olive oil over medium heat on the second frying pan. Sauté diced onion until brown on the edges, about 2 minutes. Add diced peppers and garlic, season with ground spices, salt and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally for 3 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Cook until the tomato melds in the sauce about 5 minutes. 

3. When the coconut milk has thickened, add the sofrito and stir to combine well. Turn the heat off and let it rest about 5 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped cilantro if using.
