Rinse and trim goat meat, removing excess fat.

In a bowl, combine goat meat with garlic, onion powder, black pepper, curry powder, salt, pimento seeds, ginger extract, scotch bonnet pepper, scallions, onions, and thyme.

Add a little water to the mixture to help the spices adhere to the meat.

Massage the spices into the meat thoroughly, ensuring even coating.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the seasoned goat meat overnight.

In a large pan, heat vegetable oil and add smashed garlic and pimento seeds.

Add the marinated goat meat to the pan and sweat it until browned.

Add water to the pan gradually, cooking until the meat is tender, about 1.5 hours, checking occasionally and adding more water as needed.

Cover the pan while cooking to retain moisture.

Check the meat for tenderness; it should be soft but still on the bone.
