Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Pat the 2 lb goat meat dry and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Sear the goat until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes total.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer skillet to oven and roast until meat is tender and pulls apart easily, about 30 minutes. If not tender, cover with foil and roast 10 more minutes.

  4. Step 4

    While meat roasts, arrange the banana leaf on a serving platter. Scatter the sliced onion, tomato, yellow bell pepper, and green chili over the leaf.

  5. Step 5

    When goat is done, let rest 5 minutes, then place on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated cheese and serve warm.

  6. Step 6

    Optional: add a squeeze of lime or a pinch of cumin before serving if you have them.
