WEST INDIAN LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Pat lamb dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon curry powder, the salt, the ground ginger and the black pepper. Add spice mix to large bowl and toss with lamb.
• Combine onion, scallion, garlic, fresh ginger, allspice, thyme leaves and 2 tablespoons oil in a blender; purée until smooth. Scrape mixture over lamb and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons curry powder and heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, brown the meat on all sides. Drizzle in additional oil, if needed, to prevent meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Transfer browned meat to a plate as it browns.
• Once all the meat has been browned, return it to the pot, along with any juices on the plate. Add enough water to just cover meat. Bring liquid to a simmer, covered, then uncover the pot and cook gently for 45 minutes.
• Stir potato, carrot and pepper into pot. Simmer until vegetables are fork tender and meat is cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes longer.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat and vegetables to a bowl. Simmer cooking liquid until it has reduced and thickened to a saucy consistency (to taste), about 15 minutes. Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. Pour sauce over meat. Serve over rice, topped with a squeeze of lime, a dollop of mango chutney or pickle and fresh cilantro.

JAMAICA CURRY MUTTON

Steps:

• Fry mutton, onions, and garlic in oil to which was added the curry powder.
• Once mutton is lightly browned and the onions are clear, add the rest of the ingredients except the carrots. Add enough water to cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
• Add the carrots and simmer til carrots are tender.
• Serve with rice and fresh fruit salad.

CURRIED GOAT

Steps:

• Put the goat in a large mixing bowl and add all the ingredients except the oil, carrot, potato and chilli. Rub everything into the meat until well coated. Put in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hr or overnight.
• Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan over a medium to high heat and add the meat. Stir until browned on all sides. Pour in enough hot water to just cover the meat (about 800ml). Put the lid on and allow to simmer over a low heat for 2 hrs, or until the meat is soft and tender. Keep checking and stirring every 30 mins and add a little more water if it reduces too much, to prevent the pan from drying out.
• For the last 30 mins of cooking, add the carrots, potatoes, and chilli. Remove the lid and simmer for a little longer to thicken, if you like. Stir and season to taste, then scatter over some extra spring onion.

GOAT CURRY

Steps:

• Place the onion, garlic and ginger in a food processor and blend to a purée. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish, add the onion mixture and cook for 5 mins until softened. Add the chillies, curry leaves, thyme, curry powder and 2 tsp salt. Cook for 2-3 mins until fragrant.
• Tip the mutton or goat into the pan. Cook for 5 mins over a medium-high heat until the meat has browned. Add the chopped tomatoes and stock. Increase the heat, bring to the boil and cook for 10 mins. Reduce heat, cover and leave to simmer gently for 2½ hrs - remove the lid for the final 30 mins of cooking.
• Add the beans to heat through, plus more chilli if you want it spicier. After 5 mins more, remove from the heat. Add the lemon juice and coriander, and stir well. Serve with warmed roti and rice.
