Simmer for 10 minutes on medium heat.

Notes
This recipe serves 8 and contains 2 net carbs per serving.
Only add cayenne pepper if you want it spicier. Also, use half habanero pepper to cut down on the heat.
Use an
instant pot
to cook the goat meat faster before making the stew.
You can slightly fry or air fry your meat for those who love fried goat meat before cooking it in the stew.
If your blended tomato purée is too watery, pour it into an empty pot and simmer for a few minutes to eliminate the excess water.
Shorten your cook time by boiling the goat meat in advance, either earlier in the day or the night before.
