About Chivo en Coco
Gisela presents chivo en coco as traditional Zulian cooking. Her Venezuelan rendition combines pieces of goat with homemade coconut milk and a sofrito of bell pepper, round onion, long onion and garlic.
Toasted cumin and pepper season the meat. The coconut milk reduces around the goat before the sofrito joins it, giving the finished stew its coconut flavour and a substantial sauce.
The goat is cooked until tender while enough sauce remains to accompany it. The recipe serves the stew with white rice and baked green plantains, keeping the meat and coconut sauce at the centre of the plate.
