How to prepare Curry Goat
Ingredients
- 1 lime
- 1⁄2 tsp Salt
- 3 lbs. Goat
- Boiling water
- 4 Cups Water
- 3 tbsp Vinegar
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 2 tbsp coconut Oil
- 2 tbsp Curry Powder
- 1 tsp. Ginger, Grated
- 2 Big Onions, chopped
- 4 tbsp Green Seasoning
- 4 Garlic Cloves, crushed
- 4 Stalk Scallion, Chopped
- 6 Allspice Berries, crushed
- 2 tbsp all-purpose Seasoning
- 1 Large Irish potato, chopped
- 1 Green Sweet Pepper, chopped
- 1 Scotch Bonnet Pepper, Chopped
Instructions
- Cut the goat meat into cubes and wash with lime thoroughly. Soak it with the vinegar, lime, salt, and a little water for 10 minutes in a large bowl to eliminate the rawness. Trim off the fat and wash with water again.
- Chop your onions and a green bell pepper. Crush the garlic cloves and allspice berries in a kitchen mortar and pestle. Grate the fresh ginger. Set aside.
- Add the curry powder, all seasoning powder, black pepper, salt to taste, and green seasoning to the goat meat. Mix the seasoning into the goat meat with your hands, wearing gloves, and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
- On medium heat, add the coconut oil to a large pot. Add a teaspoon of curry powder to the oil. Stir gently and add the grated ginger and crushed garlic cloves. Add the marinated, seasoned meat. Add half of the onions, celery, thyme, half of the green bell pepper, and scotch bonnet pepper to the pot.
- Add a cup of hot water, stir gently, cover the pot, and allow it to cook for about an hour. You’ll notice the bones separating from the meat. After an hour, add hot water to the curry goat to soften the meat. Pour in the rest of the onion, scallions, and bell pepper.
- Let the curry goat sauce simmer for 10 minutes, then add the peeled, cubed potatoes and a tablespoon of green seasoning and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Stir, taste, and adjust the seasoning.
- Serve with your favorite sides, like fluffy rice, potatoes, or yam.
