Ingredients

Scale

Curry Goat

  • 2 lbs (900 g) goat meat, cut into cubes
  • 2 tbsp Jamaican curry powder
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp thyme (dried or fresh)
  • 1 Scotch bonnet pepper, whole (optional, for heat)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cups beef or chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 carrots, sliced (optional)
  • 2 potatoes, cubed (optional)

Coconut Rice

  • 2 cups long-grain rice
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 ml) coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Marinate the goat meat: In a bowl, toss the goat meat with Jamaican curry powder, allspice, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cover and let it marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight to develop deep flavors.
  2. Brown the meat: Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the marinated goat meat and brown on all sides for 5 to 7 minutes. This locks in the juices and adds depth of flavor.
  3. Sauté aromatics: Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until fragrant and the onions become translucent, about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Add liquid and simmer: Pour in the beef or chicken stock, then add the whole Scotch bonnet pepper for heat (optional). Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours or until the goat is tender. Add sliced carrots and cubed potatoes about 30 minutes before cooking finishes if desired.
  5. Adjust seasoning: Taste the curry and season with additional salt and black pepper as needed. Remove the Scotch bonnet pepper before serving if you prefer less spiciness.
  6. Prepare the coconut rice: In a separate medium pot, combine the long-grain rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Stir the mixture well to combine fully.
  7. Cook the rice: Bring the coconut rice mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the rice is tender and all liquid is absorbed. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
  8. Serve: Plate the Jamaican curry goat alongside or over the coconut rice and enjoy the warm, flavorful Caribbean meal.

Notes

  • Marinating goat meat overnight intensifies the flavor and tenderizes the meat.
  • Remove the Scotch bonnet pepper before serving to control the heat level.
  • Use freshly ground allspice for the best aromatic impact.
  • Coconut rice can be garnished with chopped scallions or fresh herbs for extra color and flavor.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a simple green salad for a balanced meal.
