It’s been a while since I’ve posted about cooking! I’ve been easing back into cooking during my postpartum period and here’s a meal I made that was absolutely delicious and enjoyable to cook!
African Inspired Goat:
Ingredients:
2.5 pounds of fresh goat (I got mine from Halal Medina!)
One whole white onion
Three cloves garlic (or more!)
Fresh rosemary
Olive oil
Maggie’s Spice it Up Lamb Seasoning
Salt
Black pepper
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Paprika
Carton of chicken broth
Two cups water
Pressure cooker
Instructions:
Grab your fresh goat meat from Halal Medina.
Wash off the blood from your meat using cold water.
Season your goat meat generously with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika, finish off with “Maggie’s Spice Up Lamb seasoning (available at Halal Medina), and drizzle olive oil on the meat before mixing seasoning in.
Cut up onion and garlic and wash off rosemary twigs.
Brown your goat meat in the pressure cooker with olive oil. Brown for about 1-2 minutes on both sides. Finish off with adding garlic and options and let them cook with meat before adding chicken broth and water.
Close the pressure cooker lid and let the meat cook on medium for around two hours. Check the meat often by releasing the steam, stirring meat, and checking the texture of the meat until it’s tender.
Finish off by making basmati rice and paratha bread and voila! Dinner is made!
Jerk Kale Caesar Salad Recipe
Jerk Kale Caesar Salad Recipe:
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
What you’ll need:
Fresh Kale extra points if purple kale
One Red Bell Pepper
Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing (Here’s the brand I utilize)
One Lime
Handful of Croutons
Cherry Tomatoes
Mild Jerk Paste Jar
Cooking Steps:
Gather all the ingredients for prep. Wash all tomatoes, the lime, bell peppers, and kale (if not pre-bagged & washed).
Start by cutting the tomatoes in half. Followed by cutting the bell peppers into long thing strips and then slicing them in half. If your kale wasn’t pre-washed, wash the kale (I like to add a bit of ACV for cleaning- but only if the kale is fresh from my garden), then pat the kale dry with a fresh napkin before cutting the kale in small pieces. Finish off by cutting up the croutons into small pieces (half size is perfect).
Next, grab a large bowl and put the kale into it. From there, add the tomatoes, croutons, and bell peppers into the bowl and mix the ingredients around. Drizzle half of the lime on the fresh kale afterwards.
Pull out a small bowl and pour in one cup of creamy Caesar salad dressing into the bowl. Next add two tablespoons of the mild jerk paste into the bowl. Finish off by squeezing the final half of the lime into the salad dressing, and whisk the ingredients together.
Combine the salad dressing with the kale and mix the salad together. The salad is ready to eat from there! However, for optimal taste, feel free to cover the salad and place in the refrigerator for around 20-30 minutes to help the kale soften (key if you purchased pre-washed kale).
