1.2. To garnish
- 1 medium-sized onion;
- 1 little green bell pepper;

1.3. Preparations:
- Chop the goat meat into large pieces. The chunks must have the goatskin on for a true Asun.

- Mix the spices and the meat with your hands.
- Cover everything with a thin film and leave for 1 hour in the fridge (or skip the marinating step at all).
- Mince the habanero peppers.
- Cut 1 onion into 4 big pieces.
And these have been all the Asun meat preparations!
1.4. How to prepare Asun: the process
- After you have marinated the goat meat, put it into a pot. Using a pressure cooker is a great idea since the goat meat is quite tough.
- Add water so that it just covers half of the goat meat, place the large onion pieces and cook over medium heat. The water must dry up by the time the goat meat is done to a turn.
- When the goat meat is done, the big chunks of onions should be removed and the dish should be salted.
- Cook at high heat and stir at the final stage of cooking until all the rest of the liquid in the pot is gone.
- Place the meat on your oven rack.
- Grill in the oven at 180°C till the meat is covered with yummy brown crust (about 15 min). Turn the pieces over occasionally.
- While the meat is being grilled, wash and slice the green and red bell pepper, as well as the remaining onion and put them on toothpicks.
- As soon as the meat it well grilled, heat the vegetable oil in a large pot.
- Fry the pepper a bit in the oil (you can add the remaining thick goat meat broth).
- Add the roasted meat.
- Mix well till everything looks oily and glowing.
This is how to cook goat meat! Serve the dish with fresh vegetables.
