1-Getting started with Jamaican Curry Goat is straightforward, beginning with preparing your 3 to 3½ pounds of goat meat cut into chunks. First, season the meat with salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavors, then sear it in ¼ cup of cooking oil for a golden crust. This step locks in the juices and sets the stage for the rich, spicy gravy.

2-Next, add the aromatics: 4 to 5 tablespoons of curry powder, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, 1 to 2 teaspoons of minced ginger, 1 medium sliced onion, 1 teaspoon of white pepper, 1 to 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme, 2 sliced green onions, and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste. Stir everything together in the pot and cook until fragrant, which takes just a few minutes.

3-Once the spices are blooming, pour in water to cover the meat and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 2 hours to tenderize the goat meat fully. In the last 15 to 20 minutes, add 2 to 3 medium peeled and chunked potatoes and 1 tablespoon of bouillon powder if desired, stirring occasionally. If the stew is too thick, adjust by adding more water or stock until you reach the perfect consistency. Finally, taste and adjust seasoning with salt, then let it rest before serving piping hot with your favorite sides.
