Notes
Be sure to use a fresh and good quality goat meat for the best taste.
Adjust the amount of pepper used to your preferred level of spiciness.
To achieve the smoky flavor, it is best to roast the meat over an open fire or grill. However, it can also be roasted in an oven if an open fire or grill is not available.
The dish can be served with a side of sliced onions and fresh tomatoes to balance the spiciness.
Leftover asun can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
