Ingredients

• 2 lbs goat meat (bone-in, cubed)
• 2 tbsp lime or lemon juice
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 3 stalks scallions (chopped)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 large onion (diced)
• 1 large carrot (sliced)
• 2 medium potatoes (peeled and cubed)
• 2 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tsp ground allspice
• 1 piece scotch bonnet pepper (whole or chopped; optional for heat)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 cups water or broth (goat or chicken)
• 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 tbsp cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the goat meat thoroughly with fresh water and lime or lemon juice. Pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Season the meat with salt, black pepper, thyme, scallions, and minced garlic. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 4

Toast the curry powder in the hot oil for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to release its aroma, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Add the seasoned goat meat to the pot, stirring to coat the pieces in the curry. Brown the meat on all sides for 8–10 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the diced onion, carrot, potatoes, tomatoes, and allspice. Add the scotch bonnet pepper (whole for mild heat or chopped for more intense heat).

Step 7

Pour in the water or broth, ensuring the meat is fully submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

Step 8

Simmer the stew for about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water or broth if needed to avoid drying out.

Step 9

After 90 minutes, stir in the coconut milk and continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the stew is thickened.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if necessary.

Step 11

Remove the scotch bonnet pepper if left whole. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with steamed white rice, rice and peas, or dumplings for a complete Caribbean meal.
