The method
Step by step
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the goat meat with all marinade ingredients: lime juice, garlic, ginger, marinade scallions, curry powder, allspice, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to coat the meat and set aside.
About 20 min
Cook’s note: For deeper flavor, you can marinate the meat in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
About 2 min
- 3
Working in batches, sear the goat meat on all sides until well browned. Transfer the seared meat to a separate plate.
About 15 min
Cook’s note: Don't overcrowd the pot, as this will steam the meat instead of searing it. A good sear builds a flavorful crust.
- 4
Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped yellow onion to the same pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
About 7 min
- 5
Return the seared goat meat and any accumulated juices back to the pot.
About 1 min
- 6
Pour in the beef broth and add the whole scotch bonnet pepper. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to release any flavorful browned bits.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Leaving the scotch bonnet whole imparts its fruity flavor without overwhelming heat. For a spicier dish, you can pierce it with a small slit.
- 7
Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 90 minutes.
About 1 hr 30 min
Cook’s note: Maintain a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil, to ensure the meat becomes tender.
- 8
Stir in the cubed potatoes, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
About 1 min
- 9
Cover the pot again and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the goat is fork-tender and the potatoes are fully cooked.
About 30 min
Cook’s note: If the sauce is too thin, you can remove the lid for the last 10 minutes of cooking to let it reduce.
- 10
Carefully remove and discard the whole scotch bonnet pepper. Taste the sauce and adjust with more salt if necessary.
About 2 min
- 11
Let the curried goat rest off the heat for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
About 10 min
- 12
Serve hot, garnished with the reserved sliced scallions for garnish.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: This dish is traditionally served with white rice or rice and peas, and a side of fried plantain.
