Ingredients

Scale

3 to 3Β½ pounds goat meat, cut into chunks

ΒΌ cup cooking oil

4 to 5 tablespoons curry powder

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 to 2 teaspoons minced ginger

1 medium onion, sliced

1 teaspoon white pepper

1 to 2 teaspoons fresh thyme

2 green onions, sliced

1 tablespoon tomato paste

Water to cover

2 to 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

1 whole scotch bonnet pepper or any hot pepper (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon bouillon powder (optional)

Salt to taste

Instructions

1-Getting started with Jamaican Curry Goat: Begin by seasoning the goat meat with salt and pepper, which helps bring out its natural flavors right from the start. This recipe, with its 15 minutes of prep time and about 2 hours and 30 minutes of cooking, makes it easy for anyone to whip up a delicious meal.

2-Heat the cooking oil: Heat the cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat, then add the meat and sear it until browned, stirring often to avoid sticking. Once browned, stir in the curry powder for 1 to 2 minutes to let those spicy notes bloom. Next, mix in the garlic, ginger, onion, white pepper, thyme, green onions, tomato paste, and the hot pepper, stirring for another minute to blend everything together.

3-Pour in enough water: Pour in enough water to cover the meat, bring it to a boil, and then lower the heat to simmer for 2 to 3 hours until the meat turns tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed to keep it from drying out. About 15 to 20 minutes before it’s done, toss in the potatoes and bouillon powder if you’re using it, letting them cook until soft for a thicker stew.

4-Finally, adjust the thickness: adjust the thickness with a bit more water or stock before serving. This method ensures a flavorful dish that’s tender and packed with taste, perfect for family dinners or special occasions.
