  • I make different goat stews and curries all the time. This recipe looks interesting. Making a modified version now. Used Thai chiles since they were handy and a mild to medium hot Japanese green pepper. This will be a nice and spicy dish! Also added some white pepper and some cumin. May add some habanero. Smells delish and I will certainly enjoy this!
    Thanks!
