Servings
Ingredients
- cooked Scotch bonnet pepper
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 medium onion
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme
- 2 cups water
- flatbread
Marinade
- 3 3/10 lb goat shoulder, bone-in, cubed
- 2 tbsp Jamaican curry powder
- 1 tbsp allspice, toasted and ground
- 1 tsp nutmeg, grated
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp green seasoning, herbs and aromatics blend
- 1 Scotch bonnet pepper
- 2 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- 1Combine goat shoulder cubes, Jamaican curry powder, toasted allspice, grated nutmeg, black pepper, salt, green seasoning, a whole raw Scotch bonnet pepper, and lime juice in a bowl; mix until the meat is well coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- 2Process onion chunks together with the green seasoning in a food processor until coarsely blended.
- 3After the overnight marination, mix the marinated meat by hand to ensure even coating.
- 4Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and bloom the Jamaican curry powder until it fizzes.
- 5Add the marinated goat meat to the pot and brown lightly.
- 6Stir in the processed onion‑herb mixture, minced ginger, minced garlic, and chopped fresh thyme; cook until the onion softens.
- 7Transfer the meat and aromatics to a cooking pot (if not already in one) and add enough water to just cover the meat, scraping up any browned bits.
- 8Add a whole cooked Scotch bonnet pepper to the simmering curry.
- 9Cover the pot with a lid and simmer gently for about 2½ hours, or until the goat is tender and the sauce has thickened and become glossy; the meat should fall off the bone easily.
- 10Finish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme before serving.
- 11Serve the curry hot alongside flatbread.
