i am jamaican and this is how i make my curry goat, but made with mutton.

black pepper 2 stalks escallion chopped
3 tablespoons curry powder 1 hot pepper seeds removed
1 clove garlic 2 tablespoons butter
3 tomatos chopped 1 1/2 pints water
2 onions sliced

put some reggae on the radio.

buy mutton already chopped and with bones included.
place in bowl day before cooking, add salt, pepper,curry powder, garlic, tomatos,onions, escallion,pepper. mix round , cover with clingfilm and leave overnight.
at same time put some kidney beans to soak in water overnight too for the rice.

the next day scrape all the onions tomatos etc from the meat and brown off in butter or oil in a large pot, i use a pot called a 'dutch pot', till medium brown , might have to do this bit by bit if lot of meat. i buy £7.00 worth of mutton, will do for 6 people.
once browned cover with water, say and inch over the meat, and leave to cook for 2 hours on a medium heat,
after 2 hours of cooking add the onions tomatos garlic etc that you seasoned the meat with yesterday. allow to cook for another 2 hours adding more water if needed, if too thin dont add cornmeal as will ruin sauce, boil the water off until desired thickness. da da !
you will have delicious curry goat. i serve mine with rice and peas.

rice and peas.- you need

i cup red kidney beans 1 clove garlic crushed
1 packet coconut milk compressed or can use tinned
i teaspoon salt 1 stalk ecallion crushed
1 sprig thyme 2 1/2 cups white rice
black pepper
you should have soaked the kidney beans overnight,
now boil them for an hour and a half in water and the packet of coconut milk

add the thyme, pepper,garlic, escallion, and salt, simmer for 5 mins then add the washed rice to the pot. liquid should be an inch or so over the rice. bring to the boil and turn down to low-med heat and cover pot. rice will turn pink during cooking. rice is ready when liquid is absorbed and rice is nice and fluffly. stir a bit to ensure all kidney beans are evenly distributed but dont mash them up to much!

should serve 6 people and is usually(in most not all households) is eaten on a sunday. serve with home made coleslaw or salad. boiled potatoes are also nice with this. can be frozen too. enjoy, i am making this sunday when my family are coming to eat. this is my nans recipie and is tasty and authentic, easy to make too the meat is tender and the rice fluffy.

thanx we usally use lamb meat.

redmatchstickman

have not tasted it with lamb but probly just as tasty, but maybe more expensive. when i buy meat i just say "3 pound in money of chicken, 6 pound in money of lamb" etc, silly i know, i suppose i never really know whats the best value is for a fact, i just guess based on how much it cooks! i need to fix that and go by weights. im not being a good mse'er

Trouble is, meat prices vary so hugely by source...

£7.00 of meat at Asda will be a very different quantity from what you'll get for that price from (a) Waitrose, (b) local butcher, (c) farmer's market.

I'll be off to one of the Caribbean meat dealers in Peckham (10 mins from me on the bus) for some genuine goat, and I'll let you know how much it costs Though it won't be anytime soon as I've got quite enough meat in the house as it is

AussieLass

Hope you found some Rzl. If not, there are a few of these around the place.

Resurrecting an old thread. Can anybody suggest some additional recipes. I can google but like tried and tested. I have a SC I presume that would be the best way to slow cook it and it not burn. Any suggestions of time length.
While I'm asking, any advise about rice and peas? Or accompaniments.
Thanks.

I gather it needs treating like mutton rather than lamb - so long and slow to tenderise it though the flavour's good. Also friends have indicated that quite a lot of goat on sale is mutton!

Depends how old the goat is ,my butcher breeds and sells his own ,and they slaughter them young
