Jamaican Curried Goat

Recipe Description

This Jamaican Curried Goat is one of my favorite recipes. I love experimenting with different cuts of meat. Sometimes this means cooking with chicken thighs rather than breasts or slow cooking tougher cuts of beef. One of my latest discoveries is stews made with goat meat. I love them and I know you will too.

To make this start by mixing goat meat with chili pepper, curry powder, garlic and season with salt and black pepper. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight. When you are ready to cook the stew, remove the goat from the marinade. Pat the meat dry with paper towels and reserve the marinade. Brown the goat meat in batches and set aside. In the same stock pot, cook the onion and celery. Add marinade and broth and bring to a simmer until tender. Add potatoes and continue to simmer until tender and delicious.

To make Jamaican Curried Goat, you will need the following ingredients:
