Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Rinse the goat meat thoroughly under cold water, then transfer to a large stockpot and cover with cold water (at least 12 cups). Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, skimming off any foam as it appears.

  2. 2

    Reduce heat to low and add onion (halved), carrots, celery, garlic cloves, tomatoes (quartered), and bay leaves. Simmer uncovered for 2 hours, maintaining a gentle simmer for clarity.

  3. 3

    Stir in the kosher salt, black peppercorns, and dried oregano. Continue simmering for another 1.5 to 2 hours until the goat is tender and the broth is richly flavored. Add water if needed to maintain original volume.

  4. 4

    Remove the goat meat and vegetables using a slotted spoon. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth for extra clarity.

  5. 5

    Return the strained broth to the pot, adjust seasoning if needed, and stir in fresh chopped cilantro just before serving. Serve hot, optionally garnishing with reserved goat meat.
