Jamaican Curry Goat Recipe pappysmom

Trim excess fat from meat cubes, season with the 2 Tbsps.

Adobo seasoning & let sit for 30 minutes.

Chop onions, garlic, & scallions while meat is marinating in Adobo seasoning.

Heat oil in large, heavy-bottomed pot & fry 1 Tablespoon of the curry powder in the oil until curry powder darkens.

Immediately add goat meat cubes along with chopped onions, garlic, scallions, thyme, whole allspice & black pepper.

Stir & fry over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes.

Add remaining curry powder, the two whole scotch bonnets with X cut in bottom & about 1 Tablespoon more of the adobo seasoning.

Add hot water to cover, stir well & bring to boil.

Lower heat to a simmer.

After 40 minutes remove the whole scotch bonnet peppers (if you like extremely hot food you can leave them in the pot).Continue cooking, uncovered, until meat is very tender(almost falling off bone).

You will need to replenish hot water several times in cooking process, as needed.

At this point add the optional potato cubes, if you like, then cover pot & simmer on lowest heat until potatoes are just tender.You will want a somewhat thick sauce on the meat, so if its still a bit watery when potatoes are tender, remove them with slotted spoon, turn up heat to medium & cook off excess liquid until a somewhat thick sauce is formed.

Return potatoes to pot & stir.

Turn off heat under cooking pot.

Tip: This dish is best served with Indian-style roti or pita bread, which has been warmed.

I put several pieces of bread on plate, cover with plastic film & microwave it for about a minute, so its warm & very soft.You can also wrap it in foil & warm in a low oven for a few minutes, or heat & very lightly toast each piece over the direct flame on the stove.
