Asun (Spicy Roasted Goat) is what many Nigerians would describe as a delectable spicy roasted goat chopped into bite-sized pieces, with big bold aromatic flavors from onions, habanero, garlic, and bell peppers. Smokey, sizzling, spicy! Definitely not for the faint-hearted. Native to the Yoruba-speaking Ondo people in Western Nigeria.
INGREDIENTS:
1kg grilled goat meat
