Asun (Spicy Roasted Goat Meat)

Asun (spicy roasted goat meat), Asun means smoked, it is very popular in Nigerian parties and get-together. It is prepared with smoked goat meat and over an open fire. The signature of Asun is the smoke and the hot spicy pepper used in preparing it. You don’t need any major seasoning to prepare it. The habanero I source here is not as red as the ones back in Nigeria, hence the color…lol

Since I don’t have access to open fire (the local ones), I used barbeques grill to smoke it and prepare on the stove top. If you can’t get smoked goat meat, you can use an oven to roast the meat before you start the cooking process. If you can’t handle the heat you can adjust the pepper to your preference.

Asun is made without tomato but I made some with tomatoes for a friend who couldn’t tolerate the level of the spiciness. The picture below, you can add red bell pepper for some color you wish to do so. Valentine is on Wednesday if you don’t want to dine out make this and serve with your favorite drink.

Sorry, I don't have the picture of the smoking process, the weather wasn't friendly at all...lol so I just left it on the grill and check it the meat once when I wanted to flip it.

  3. Clean up the habanero/rodo and coarsely chopped them up. You can use a chopper, food processor, mortar, and pestle, or a blender. If you're using a blender make sure you blend with as little water as possible or you drain the water afterward.
