In Bonaire, Kabritu Stoba is considered a specialty dish which usually features cubed goat meat, but lamb can also be used.  This is a rich stew made with onions, garlic, tomatoes, and jalapenos, which is perfectly finished off with a splash of lime, and a touch of vinegar.  This stoba is thick and hardy, and is usually served with a side dish of Caribbean rice and beans.
