Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 35 mins

1. For The Plantains: Preheat oil to high heat, about 360 degrees F. Add plantain crisps and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
2. Drain excess oil and sprinkle on chili powder.
3. For the goat: Add all of the ingredients to a large stockpot or souppot, and add enough water to cover.
4. Bring up to a boil, then reduce to a vigourous simmer. Cook for 45 minutes, or until goat falls off of the bone.
5. Remove from the heat, remove the goat from the stock, then allow to cool.
6. Once cooled, shred all of the meat, removing all of the fat and bone, leaving only the shredded meat. I use two forks for this.
7. Set aside.
8. For The Pico De Gallo: Mix all of the ingredients together, and set aside.
9. Assembly: place even amounts of plantain crisps on each plate.
10. On top of this place even amounts of shredded goat.
11. Allow guests to serve themselves the pico de gallo and accompaniments.Cook Information Cleanup:
