Asun is a Nigerian dish of grilled goat meat in pepper sauce. It is a Yoruba delicacy often found at Nigerian parties.

Ingredients

• Goat meat, washed and cut into smaller pieces
• Salt
• Stock cube
• 2 medium-sized onions
• Fresh habanero pepper
• Bell pepper, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped

Procedure

1. Place goat meat in a clean bowl. Add salt and stock cubes, and give a good massage. Marinate for at least 2 hours to properly season the meat.
2. Place the marinated goat meat on an electric barbecue grill or oven grill. Rub some vegetable oil on the meat.
3. Cover the grill, and grill for about 20 minutes. If you are using an oven grill, grill it for about 40 minutes at 180˚C.
4. In a food processor, blend the habanero pepper, and onions to a chunky paste.
5. Place a pan on medium heat. Add the grilled meat along with about ¾ cup water to introduce moisture. Let cook for about 5–10 minutes.
6. Stir in the pepper and onion mixture, and let cook for about 5–7 minutes.
7. Add the chopped bell pepper and onion. Combine thoroughly, and add salt to taste.
8. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and combine very well. Leave to simmer for about 2 minutes.
9. Serve.
