Thyme adds flavor without extra cost.

Clean the goat meat by trimming excess fat and removing any bones if desired.

Heat cold-pressed coconut oil in a large pot and turn on the stove.

Toast the curry powder in the oil, being careful not to burn it, for flavor.

Add the cleaned goat meat to the pot and brown it slightly.

Once the meat is starting to stick, add enough water to almost cover the meat.

Allow the meat to cook, checking occasionally to top up the water as it cooks off.

Prepare a traditional cabbage salad by cutting the cabbage in half and thinly slicing it.

Dress the cabbage with about a quarter cup of vinegar and a couple of tablespoons of sugar, letting it sit to absorb the flavors.

Add tomatoes on top of the salad without mixing them in.

Once the meat is tender, add final seasonings to taste.
