Add 1 kg of goat meat to the preparation area.

Blend the fresh herbs: add chopped onion, fresh thyme, scallion, garlic, ginger, pimento seed, and scotch bonnet pepper to a blender jug.

5

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of water to the blender, then blend until smooth.

Season the goat meat with 2 tablespoons of the blended herbs, 1 teaspoon of all-purpose seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper, mixing thoroughly by hand.

7

Let the goat meat marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight if possible.

8

Heat a pot on the stove and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Add 1 tablespoon of curry powder to the pot and allow it to brown for 20-30 seconds, stirring to prevent burning.
