Curry Goat
Description
This hearty Curry Goat is a beloved Caribbean staple that delivers deep, comforting flavors in every bite. The goat meat is first marinated in a vibrant mix of Madras curry powder, fresh garlic, onions, and fiery Scotch Bonnet chiles, then slow-cooked until incredibly tender. The result is a rich, aromatic gravy that pairs perfectly with steamed white rice or dumplings. While it requires some patience to achieve that melt-in-your-mouth texture, the process is simple and rewarding. This dish is ideal for weekend gatherings, holiday celebrations, or any evening when you crave a satisfying, home-cooked meal that warms the soul.Ingredients
Directions
-
In a large bowl, combine the goat meat cubes with minced garlic, chopped onions, minced shallot, chopped tomatoes, minced scallion, minced Scotch Bonnet chile, Madras curry powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Toss the meat and aromatics together thoroughly to ensure all pieces are coated in the marinade.
-
Cover the bowl and let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
-
Heat the butter and oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
-
Remove the meat from the marinade, reserving the liquid, and brown the goat cubes in the hot skillet in batches until seared on all sides.
-
Return the browned meat to the pot and pour the reserved marinade over it.
-
Add the water to the pot and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
-
Cover the pot and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the goat meat is fork-tender.
-
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
-
Serve hot over steamed white rice or with dumplings.
