A Goat Curry for the Season

Now we're talking goat!

Perhaps it sounds unique and impossible for some of us, but goat meat has the most delicious flavors in food, so why not join the club and make a unique holiday treat!
I actually got this recipe from my Jamaican neighbor who became popular in the village for his Jamaican blends, but I think you can find this online too.

I always cook my goat's meat first in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes before putting it in the large pot, this way I can be sure meat is super tender and super delicious to melt in the mouth.

Here we go.

Ingredients

3 lbs mutton (goat meat) -cut it into medium-sized chunks
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 medium potatoes (diced)- optional
1 large onion; diced
3 cloves garlic; minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 bunch scallions; chopped
1 scotch bonnet, seeded & minced finely
2 tablespoons Jamaican curry powder (or any available curry powder)
2 tablespoons cooking oil

Preparation

Dash goat meat with the seasoning salt. In a large pot (make sure its large) heat the cooking oil and add 1 tablespoon of the Jamaican curry powder. Cook while stirring constantly until the curry powder starts to darken. Put meat in pot along with onions, scallions, garlic and scotch bonnet pepper. Fry over a medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add thyme, remaining curry powder, black pepper & a little (1/2 teaspoon) of seasoning salt.

Cover with water and simmer uncovered, until meat is very tender sauce has thickened. Add the diced potatoes to pot, and simmer on very low heat until potatoes are tender. Taste sauce and add more salt, if necessary. Serve with rice.
