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.

  • 2 lbs goat or lamb, cubed
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 3 tbsp butter

  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Pour the lime juice over the meat.

  4. Add the onion and garlic and continue to sauté for 5 more minutes. Add all of the remaining ingredients and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Transfer to a baking dish. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
