Pan-Seared Goat with Braised Callaloo and Scotch Bonnet-Coconut Reduction

Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with the coconut oil. Season the cubed goat meat generously with salt and black pepper. Once the oil shimmers, sear the goat pieces in batches, ensuring a deep brown, crusty exterior while keeping the center tender. Remove the meat from the pan.

Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and Scotch Bonnet pepper to the same pan, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the fresh callaloo, tossing until it begins to wilt and turn a vibrant dark green.

Pour in the coconut milk, scraping the bottom of the pan to release the flavorful browned bits from the goat. Bring to a gentle simmer, then return the seared goat to the pan. Braise for 8-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken slightly until it coats the back of a spoon with a glossy, creamy finish.

Serve immediately in a warm shallow bowl, ensuring the pieces of goat are nestled amidst the wilted greens, and spoon the remaining coconut reduction over the top.
