Do you look to try totally different things? How about goat?
I have made a dish with goat once before. It was a Middle Eastern inspired GOAT STEW. People think goat is gamy but it is not. Goat is a pretty tough cut of meat so it requires slow cook to make it tender. Using a marinade and the slow cooking process leaves a very tender and somewhat sweet tasting dish.

A couple of other examples of dishes that I have created that are unique include this ONE POT KIMCHI CHICKEN STEW and this JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN STEW. What all three of these dishes has in common is they truly show the versatility of cooking. Taking some fairly traditional recipes and either creating some fusion idea or using a protein for an everyday dish.
The recipe does have a few steps to follow but none that are hard. The first step is to create the chili marinade. Once the marinade is developed it is poured over the goat and marinated overnight. The marinade both flavors and tenderizes the goat. Then, the goat was cooked in the pressure cooker to get it to be pull apart tender. Get some kitchen gloves because the goat is hand pulled. This is a very important step because you want to make sure all the bones are separated. The goat, birria, is finished off by simmering with onions and more spices in a Dutch oven.
