🔪 Instructions

1️⃣ Clean & Marinate

1. Wash goat meat with lime juice and water. Drain well.

2. Season with curry powder, turmeric, allspice, salt, pepper, garlic, ginger, scallions, onion, thyme, soy sauce, browning, and Scotch bonnet.

3. Mix thoroughly and marinate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

---

2️⃣ “Burn” the Curry (Important Step)

1. Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat.

2. Add 1 tablespoon curry powder and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant (do not let it burn black).

   • This deepens the flavor.

---

3️⃣ Brown the Meat

1. Add marinated goat (including seasonings) to the pot.

2. Sear and cook until meat releases juices and starts to brown (about 8–10 minutes).

---

4️⃣ Simmer Until Tender

1. Add coconut milk and enough water/broth to just cover the meat.

2. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low.

3. Cover and simmer 1.5–2.5 hours, stirring occasionally.

   • Goat should become fork-tender.

---

5️⃣ Add Potatoes

1. Add potatoes and carrot during the last 30 minutes.

2. Cook until potatoes are soft and gravy thickens.

---

6️⃣ Final Adjustments

• Taste and adjust salt.

• Remove thyme stems and whole Scotch bonnet (if left whole).

• Gravy should be thick, rich, and coating the meat.

---

🍚 Serve With:

• Rice and peas

• White rice

• Roti

• Fried plantains

• Steamed cabbage

---

🔥 Pro Tips

• Low and slow cooking makes goat tender.

• Pressure cooker option: Cook 35–45 minutes after browning.

• For thicker gravy: Let simmer uncovered last 10–15 minutes.
