Jamaican Curry Goat Recipe | Recipes By Chef Ricardo

goat meat

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than goat.

curry powder

🥗Healthier: homemade curry blend

💰Cheaper: turmeric + cumin

Homemade blends can be healthier and cheaper.

scotch bonnet pepper

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: serrano pepper

Jalapeños provide heat with less intensity.

bay leaves

🥗Healthier: dried thyme

💰Cheaper: oregano

Thyme adds flavor without extra cost.

Marinate the goat meat with curry powder, garlic, ginger, lime juice, and salt for at least 2 hours.

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the marinated goat meat to the pot and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the chopped onion, scotch bonnet pepper, and green bell pepper; cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the carrots, potatoes, thyme, allspice, bay leaves, and enough water to cover the meat.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover; simmer for 1.5-2 hours until the goat is tender.

Check occasionally, adding water as necessary to keep the meat submerged.

Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste before serving.
