Curry Goat Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs goat meat, cut into chunks
• 2-3 tablespoons Jamaican curry powder (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon browning sauce (optional)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch piece of ginger, minced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2-3 scallions, chopped
• 1-2 habanero peppers (whole for less heat or chopped for more heat)
• 2-3 cups water (or enough to cover the meat)
• 2-3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed (optional)
• 1 can coconut milk (optional for creaminess)
• Oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Goat Meat:
   • In a large bowl, combine the goat meat with the curry powder, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, ginger, chopped onion, and browning sauce (if using).
   • Mix well to ensure the meat is evenly coated. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Brown the Meat:
   • Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large pot over medium heat.
   • Add the marinated goat meat to the pot, along with any remaining marinade.
   • Brown the meat on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
3. Add Liquids and Cook:
   • Add the whole habanero peppers and enough water to cover the meat. If you want a richer sauce, add coconut milk.
   • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the goat meat is tender.
   • Stir occasionally and add more water if necessary to prevent sticking.
4. Add Vegetables (Optional):
   • If using, add the cubed potatoes about 20-30 minutes before the goat is done cooking. This allows them to cook through and absorb the flavors.
5. Taste and Adjust Seasoning:
   • Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add more salt, black pepper, or curry powder to your preference.
6. Serve:
   • Remove the pot from heat. Discard the whole habanero peppers if you prefer less heat.
   • Serve hot with rice and peas, white rice, or your choice of side.

Enjoy your delicious Jamaican curry goat!
