Jamaican Curried Goat

He likes it hot, I like it good. We compromise on jalapeno peppers.

  • Ingreadient
    • 2 pounds goat stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes

    • 2 fresh hot chile peppers, seeded and chopped

    • 2 tablespoons curry powder

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 teaspoon salt

    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

    • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

    • 1 onion, chopped

    • 1 rib celery, chopped

    • 2 ½ cups vegetable broth

    • 1 bay leaf

    • 3 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks, or more as desired

Direction

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Remove stockpot from heat, skim off surface fat, and remove bay leaf.
