Authentic Jamaican Curry Goat Food

JAMAICAN GOAT CURRY

Steps:

• Combine goat meat and vinegar in a large bowl; cover with water. Let stand, about 5 minutes. Drain, massaging the meat.
• Mix onion, 6 tablespoons curry powder, Scotch bonnet peppers, garlic, allspice berries, salt, pepper, and thyme together in a bowl to make a spice rub. Rub into goat meat until coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Scrape spice rub off the goat meat, reserving it in a bowl.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons curry powder; stir until dark and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add goat meat; cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Stir reserved spice rub, potatoes, and carrots into the saucepan. Pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, adding more water as needed, until goat meat is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Discard allspice berries. Season with salt and pepper.

JAMAICAN GOAT CURRY

Steps:

• If you can find Jamaican curry powder, use it and omit the allspice. If not, use regular curry powder and add the allspice to it. Add 6 tbsp of curry powder, more if you like it more spicy.
• Cut the meat into large chunks, maybe 2-3 inches across. Feel free to add the bones if you have them; you can remove them later.
• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Mix in 2 tablespoons of the curry powder and heat until fragrant.
• Pat the meat dry and brown well in the curried oil. Do this in batches and don't overcrowd the pot. It may take a while to do this, maybe 30 minutes or so. Set the browned meat aside in a bowl. (When all the meat is browned, if you have bones, add them and brown them, too.).
• Add the onions and pepper to the pot and sauté, stirring from time to time, until the onions just start to brown, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle some salt over them as they cook. Add the ginger and garlic, mix well and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
• Put the meat (and bones, if using) back into the pot, along with any juices left in the bowl. Mix well. Pour in the coconut milk and tomatoes and 4-5 tablespoons of the curry powder. Add 4 cups of water. Stir to combine. Add the thyme.
• If you want to cook on the stove, bring to a simmer and let it cook until the meat is falling-apart tender, which will take at least 2 hours. Longer if you have a mature goat. If you want to cook in a crockpot, transfer the mixture to the crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
• If you have cooked the meat on the stove, add the potatoes when the meat is close to being done - tender but not falling apart. Cook about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are done. Then, skim the fat off the top of the pot if needed.
• If you cooked the meat in the crockpot, boil the potatoes until tender. Skim the layer of fat off the top of the curry, if needed, and mix in the potatoes.
• If you used bones, remove them before serving.
