Ingredients

Instructions

Marinate the Goat
Place the goat meat in a large bowl. Add curry powder, allspice, chopped onion, garlic, Scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, scallions, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly, cover, and let marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
-
Brown the Meat
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the marinated goat meat and sear until browned on all sides, about 8–10 minutes. This step locks in flavor and develops a rich color.
-
Simmer
Add water or broth to the pot, scraping the bottom to deglaze any browned bits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the goat meat is tender.
-
Add Potatoes
About 20 minutes before cooking is complete, add the cubed potatoes. Continue to simmer until the potatoes are soft and the sauce has thickened slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serve
Serve Curry Goat hot with traditional Caribbean sides such as steamed rice, roti, or fried plantains. Garnish with fresh herbs for a burst of color.
