Marinate the goat

Rub the goat chunks with the lime juice, then mix with the garlic, oregano, salt and pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors soak in.

• 1.5 kg goat meat
• 2 limes lime juice
• 5 cloves garlic
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 2 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Brown in caramel

Heat the oil in a large heavy pot (at least 5 L/5 qt, big enough to hold the meat in one layer) over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and swirl until it turns deep amber, 1–2 minutes, then carefully add the marinated goat (it will splatter) and turn to coat and brown on all sides.

• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1.5 kg the marinated goat from step 1

✅ C'est prêt quand : sugar is deep amber and meat is browned on all sides
