Step-by-Step Method: How to Cook Goat Meat Pepper Soup
1. Cook the Goat Meat
Place your goat meat in a pot and season with suya pepper, chopped onions, salt, and seasoning. Cover the pot and allow the meat to cook in its own juices over medium heat. This allows the meat to lock in flavor before any water is added.
2. Add Water for the Broth
Once the goat meat has cooked for a while and released its natural juices, add enough water to create your pepper soup broth. Stir everything together and allow it to continue cooking until the meat becomes tender.
3. Add Pepper Soup Spices
Add your pepper soup spice mix and Uda pods to the pot. Stir well and let the broth simmer so the spices thoroughly infuse into the meat and stock.
4. Add Scent Leaves
Toss in your chopped scent leaves and stir them into the soup. Allow it to cook for a few more minutes so the leaves release their wonderful aroma and flavor.
5. Taste, Adjust, and Serve
Taste your pepper soup and adjust the salt or seasoning if needed. Once the goat meat is tender and the broth is rich and spicy, ladle it hot over steaming white rice and dig in!
