Nevis Curried Goat Stew Recipes

CURRIED GOAT

Steps:

• Prepare the Jamaican curry powder: In a skillet, toast the spices over low heat, gently shaking the pan, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool. Transfer to a spice grinder, blender or mini food processor and pulse until the mixture forms a fine powder.
• Prepare the goat: Set the meat in a large bowl. Put on a pair of disposable latex or vinyl gloves. (Scotch bonnet chile can be very hot to the touch.) Add the oil, onion, garlic, chile, thyme sprigs, seasoned salt, black pepper and half the prepared Jamaican curry powder (or 4 tablespoons store-bought) to the bowl and massage the marinade into the meat. (Save remaining spice mix for another use.)
• Transfer the meat to an airtight container and refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 3 days.
• Place the meat in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the potatoes and 2 cups water. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring every 20 minutes, until the potatoes break down, the sauce has thickened and the meat is tender and cooked through, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The curried goat will look like a thick stew. Add more seasoned salt, if needed. Serve with the rice.

Steps:

• Combine goat meat, chile pepper, curry powder, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to blend, 1 hour to overnight.
• Remove goat meat mixture from bowl and pat dry, reserving marinade. Heat vegetable oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook meat in batches, browning on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer meat to a plate. Add onion and celery to the stockpot; cook and stir until onion begins to brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Stir browned goat meat into onion mixture. Add reserved marinade, vegetable broth, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour. Stir in potatoes; simmer until potatoes and meat are tender, 35 to 45 minutes more.
• Remove stockpot from heat, skim off surface fat, and remove bay leaf.

CURRIED GOAT STEW

Steps:

• Boil goat meat with salt, pepper and some chopped onions in a medium pot until tender. It will take approximately 60 -90 minutes or more, depending on how you like your goat cooked. I sometimes use the pressure cooker to shorten the process. Reserve the stock for later use.
• Add ¼ cup oil to the pot/pan and brown the goat for about 5-10 minutes.
• Then, add the chopped onions, ginger, and garlic to perfume the oil and meat, continue frying the meat for1- 2 minutes, be careful not to let the garlic burn
• Next add tomato diced tomatoes, curry, white pepper, smoked paprika, hot pepper and fresh thyme. Stir the pot frequently to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pot
• Add salt and bouillon according to preference with about 2 cups of stock. Bring to a boil and let it simmer to blend all the flavors. Approximately 30-40 minutes. Stir occasionally adding water as needed
• Finally add green onions. Adjust seasonings, sauce consistency with water/stock and salt.
• Serve warm with desired side dish.

CURRIED GOAT

Steps:

• Put the goat in a large mixing bowl and add all the ingredients except the oil, carrot, potato and chilli. Rub everything into the meat until well coated. Put in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hr or overnight.
• Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan over a medium to high heat and add the meat. Stir until browned on all sides. Pour in enough hot water to just cover the meat (about 800ml). Put the lid on and allow to simmer over a low heat for 2 hrs, or until the meat is soft and tender. Keep checking and stirring every 30 mins and add a little more water if it reduces too much, to prevent the pan from drying out.
• For the last 30 mins of cooking, add the carrots, potatoes, and chilli. Remove the lid and simmer for a little longer to thicken, if you like. Stir and season to taste, then scatter over some extra spring onion.
