Ingredients
  

  • 2 kg goat stew meat (bone-in) cut into 2-inch pieces. I like to use the shoulder cut.
  • 1 tbsp soya sauce msg-free

Dry seasoning

  • 3 tbsp curry powder
  • 2 tsp cumin powder
  • 2 tsp salt levelled or to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds optional
  • 1 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp allspice powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder unsalted
  • 2 tsp garlic powder unsalted
  • 2 tsp ginger powder
  • 2 tsp paprika optional

Fresh seasoning

  • 1 inch-thick ginger root crushed
  • ½ medium scotch bonnet pepper de-seeded, (to taste)
  • ½ small tomato diced (optional)
  • 1 medium white or yellow onion chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic crushed and chopped
  • ½ large bell pepper diced
  • 1 bunch thyme
  • 2 stalks scallion chopped
  • 8 - 10 pimento seeds

Gravy thickener

  • 1 medium irish potato diced
  • ½ cube chicken bouillon MSG free

Pre-Cook (To burn the curry)

  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 tbsp curry powder for burning
  • 1 tsp butter optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, rinse the goat stew in vinegar, lime or lemon juice then drain completely.
  • Season the goat stew with soya sauce, salt, black pepper, curry powder, cumin powder, allspice, fennel seeds, pimento seeds, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and ginger powder.
  • Prep (cut up) the fresh seasoning (onion, garlic, thyme, bell pepper, ginger root, scallion, scotch bonnet pepper, tomato) and separate the fresh seasoning into 2 equal parts.
  • Add half the portion of fresh seasoning to the goat stew and mix in well.
  • Set aside the second portion of fresh seasoning to use later in the cooking process.
  • Cover the seasoned goat stew and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 6 - 8 hours or move immediately to the next step.
  • Heat the cooking oil and butter on medium-low heat in a large skillet.
  • Immediately add 1 tbsp. of the curry powder and stir quickly and thoroughly for approximately 10 seconds.
  • Add the seasoned goat stew, stir for 30 seconds, cover the pot and let it cook on medium heat for 3 minutes.
  • Next, add enough warm water to cover the goat stew. Cover the pot and let cook on high heat for 2 ½ to 3 hours.
  • Remember to check and stir the pot every 10 minutes, ensuring the water doesn’t dry out too much.
  • Each time your water runs low, add more boiling water to completely cover the goat stew until the meat is cooked.
  • After approximately 2 ¾ hours, test a small piece of the goat stew to see if it has the desired texture (if it is tender enough for your liking).
  • When the goat meat is completely soft/cooked, add the chopped irish potatoes, the second portion of fresh seasoning and 2 cups water. Cover and cook on medium-high heat for a further 8 -10 minutes.
  • Taste the gravy. If it needs more flavour or salt, add the half cube of chicken bouillon.
  • Reduce heat to medium, stir the pot, then cover it. Cook the curry goat for another 5 minutes. leave it uncovered to allow the gravy to thicken (approximately 5 minutes).
  • After 5 minutes, stir the pot and check the consistency of the gravy. If the gravy is too thin, uncover the pot and allow it to thicken.
  • When the gravy has the desired consistency, turn the burner off, re-cover the pot, and allow the curry goat to soak up all the delicious flavours from the gravy! (3 minutes)
  • Serve hot with rice, roti or boiled ground provisions, then bless up and enjoy it!
