👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Season the goat meat generously with salt and black pepper.
💡 Conseils de pro: Allowing the meat to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the refrigerator) will enhance the flavor. - 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the goat meat in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the browned meat and set aside.
- 3
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- 5
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and allspice. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
- 6
Return the browned goat meat to the pot. Add the coconut milk, water or broth, chopped thyme, and the optional minced scotch bonnet pepper. Stir to combine.
💡 Conseils de pro: If using a whole scotch bonnet, ensure it is pricked or slit to release its heat, or leave it whole to infuse flavor without excessive spice. - 7
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and let it cook for at least 2 hours, or until the goat meat is very tender.
💡 Conseils de pro: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. If the stew becomes too thick, add a little more water or broth. - 8
Add the cubed sweet potatoes and carrots to the pot. Stir to combine, cover, and continue to simmer for another 30-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- 9
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed. Remove the whole scotch bonnet pepper if used.
💡 Conseils de pro: The stew should be rich and slightly thickened. - 10
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro or parsley. Traditionally served with rice, roti, or boiled ground provisions like yam or dasheen.
💡 Conseils de pro: Allowing the stew to rest for about 10-15 minutes after cooking can help the flavors meld.
