- Goat meat (including ribs, cut into small pieces) - 11 lb
- Potatoes (large) - 7
- Carrots (large) - 4
- Onions - 2
- Garlic - 1 bulb
- Salt and pepper - to taste
- Water - 10 oz.
- Stones (ideally round, smooth and fist sized) - 10-15
Prepare the stones by cleaning them and heating them in coal for around 1 hour.
Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and carrots, cutting into large pieces
Separate the garlic bulb and peel each clove.
Peel and slice the onions.
Put the water in a large pan with about 2 teaspoons of salt and bring to a boil.
Once the stones are heated, start adding the meat and vegetables in batches into the large pan and with each batch add a stone, so that they are eventually all distributed evenly between the meat and vegetables.
Add 2 more teaspoons of salt and some pepper.
Close the lid and cook on full heat for around 1.5 hours.
Check the pan intermittently to ensure the meat is not burning and add water if necessary.
Serve the juice from the meat separately as a broth.
