Raspberry Puffs With Goat Cheese Mousse And Thyme Food

CURRIED GOAT

Steps:

• For the wet jerk seasoning: To a blender, add the onions, garlic, ginger, thyme, Scotch bonnet, black pepper, brown sugar, salt, allspice, cayenne and 1 1/2 cups water. Blend well.
• For the curried goat: Place the goat meat in a large mixing bowl. Add the wet jerk seasoning and 3 tablespoons of the curry powder; mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a stockpot or braising pot. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons curry powder; stir into the hot oil. Add the seasoned goat and 2 cups water, and bring to a simmer. Cover and braise over medium heat for 1 hour, turning often.
• Add the carrot, onion and potato. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Add the scallion and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

RASPBERRY CREAM PUFFS

Steps:

• For the cream puffs: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the butter, granulated sugar, salt and 3/4 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. As soon as it boils, take off the heat and add the flour. Mix vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixtures comes together and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until slightly cooled. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. After adding the last egg, beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Use a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop to place rounds about 1/2 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the cream puffs for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and continue to bake until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool completely, then use a serrated knife to cut the puffs in half.
• For the filling: Beat the cream, mascarpone and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until it just holds stiff peaks, then gently fold in the jam.
• When ready to serve, use a large spoon to dollop the cream on the bottom half of the puffs and add 1 raspberry to each. Then top with the other half of the puff.
