Caribbean Coconut-Braised Goat and Black Bean Bowl

Soak the black beans overnight and boil until tender. Drain and set aside.

In a heavy-bottomed pot, sear the diced goat meat over medium-high heat until deeply browned and fragrant. Remove the meat.

In the same pot, sauté the onions and garlic until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the jerk seasoning, letting the spices bloom in the heat until fragrant.

Return the goat meat to the pot, add the cooked black beans, and pour in the coconut milk. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and braise for 20 minutes until the meat is tender and the sauce has reduced to a creamy, rich consistency.

Taste for seasoning, adding a touch of salt if needed. Serve hot in a shallow bowl, ensuring the coconut-jerk sauce coats the beans and meat. The dish should smell of warming allspice and toasted coconut.
