Cut goat meat into chunks and rinse under lime juice.

In a bowl, combine goat meat with salt, black pepper, all-purpose seasoning, jerk powder, paprika, thyme, garlic, ginger, scallion, Scotch bonnet pepper, and browning sauce; mix well to coat the meat.

Let the meat marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for better flavor.

Heat over 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add marinated goat meat to the pot and fry for 3 minutes without stirring.

After 3 minutes, stir and fry for another 3 minutes until browned.

Remove some of the potatoes and tomatoes from the mixture to add later.

Add water from the kettle to cover the meat, then mix in remaining seasoning and salt to taste.

Cover the pot and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, checking occasionally and adding more water as needed to ensure the meat is tender.

After about 1.5 hours, check the tenderness of the meat; if not tender, continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes.

Once tender, add remaining carrot, tomato, Irish potato, scallion, and 1 tablespoon ketchup to the pot.

Add a bit more all-purpose seasoning if desired, cover, and cook until everything is heated through.
