How to make Slow-Cooked Goat Leg on a Bed of Tomatoes and Sweet Peppers
Initial Pressure Cooking
- Step 1
Place the seasoned goat leg in the pressure cooker. Add water, half of the chopped onion, half of the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and lime.

Seal the lid and pressure cook on high for 30-45 minutes. Perform a fast release and carefully remove the goat leg, reserving the liquid as broth.
Sauté the Aromatics and Vegetables

Stir in the sumac spice, then add the diced yellow and red sweet peppers.

Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the peppers to soften slightly.
Combine Goat and Tomato Base

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot, then add the chunks of the broiled goat leg on top.

Pressure cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the goat to become tender and juicy.
