Jamaican Curry Goat

🇯🇲 Jamaica

Servings: 3 Prep: 20 minutes Cook: 2 hours Total: 2 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ lb goat meat
  • 2 ½ tbsp curry powder
  • 2 tsp all-purpose seasoning
  • 1 cube mutton stock
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper
  • 6 pimento berries (allspice)
  • 2 onions, medium
  • 2 stalks scallion
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • ½ tbsp grated ginger
  • 1 potato, medium, peeled and diced
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil
  • 4 cups water

Steps

  1. Wash the goat meat with vinegar and lime or lemon juice, then drain off excess water.
  2. In a large bowl, season the meat with 1½ tablespoons curry powder, salt, all-purpose seasoning, pimento berries, ginger, scotch bonnet pepper, scallion, onion, and garlic.
  3. Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of oil over the meat, rub the seasoning in, and marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  4. Heat the remaining oil in a large pot over medium heat, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon curry powder. Heat the oil without burning the curry powder.
  5. Add the goat meat and sear on all sides.
  6. Add enough water to cover the meat. Cover the pot and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender, checking occasionally to ensure there's enough water.
  7. Add the potato and fresh thyme, then simmer on low heat until the potato is cooked and the sauce has thickened.

Notes

All-purpose seasoning and mutton stock cube are common Jamaican pantry staples; substitute with a general meat seasoning blend and bouillon cube if unavailable.
