Hello everyone. This is the recipe for Curry Goat. Curry Goat can be eaten at anytime. In Jamaica we mostly have Curry Goat for dinner. Curry Goat is another favorite food that Jamaicans like to cook. I hope you enjoy this recipe.


INGREDIENTS

  • 3 pounds / 1.5 kg goat, cut into 1-inch / 2.5-cm cubes
  • 1 lime
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped (about 3 tablespoons / 45 ml)
  • 2 teaspoons / 10 ml salt
  • 1 teaspoon / 5 ml black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon / 5 ml thyme leaves
  • ¼ teaspoon / 1 ml finely chopped Scotch bonnet pepper
  • 2 tablespoons / 25 ml canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon / 5 ml sugar
  • 5 green onions, chopped (about 1 cup / 250 ml)
  • 2 teaspoons / 10 ml curry powder
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch / 1-cm cubes

Method:
Squeeze the lime juice over the goat; let it sit for a couple of minutes and then rinse with cold water. Drain off excess water. Place the goat in a seal-able container and add the onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, thyme, and Scotch bonnet pepper. Wearing rubber gloves, rub the spices into the goat with your hands. Marinate, covered and refrigerated, for 1 to 2 hours.

In a large pot over medium heat, heat the oil and sugar, stirring until the sugar is brown. Add the goat with marinade, green onions, and curry; stir thoroughly. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer the goat slowly in its own juices, stirring occasionally, until the goat is nearly tender, about 30 minutes. If the meat is tough, pour ¼ cup / 60 ml of water at a time down the sides of the pot, not directly onto the goat (or you will toughen the meat).

Add the potatoes and ¼ cup / 60 ml water; stir thoroughly. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked but not too soft. Crush some of the potatoes to thicken the sauce, if desired. If there is not enough sauce, add ¼ cup / 60 ml water and simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes.

Serve with rice or roti and a salad.

Ingredients

    2 chickens (3 lb/1.5 kg each) or 6 lb (2.7 kg) chicken thighs or parts
    2 onions, chopped
    12 sprigs fresh thyme
    2 cups (500 ml) buttermilk
    1-1/2 cups (375 ml) all-purpose_flour
    2 tbsp (25 ml) finely chopped fresh thyme (or 2 tsp/10 ml dried)
    2 tsp (10 ml) salt
    1 tsp (5 ml) each cayenne_pepper and coarsely crushed black_pepper
    4 cups (1 L) shortening or canola_oil (approx)

Preparation:

On cutting board and using kitchen shears, hold 1 of the chickens breast side down; cut off wing tips at first joint. Cut along both sides of backbone. Turn over; flatten with heels of hands. Turn chicken breast side down. With chef's knife, cut down centre of breast to divide in half. Cut off each leg; cut into thigh and drumstick pieces. Cut off wings; cut breast diagonally into 2 pieces. Trim all excess fat and loose skin. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Place chicken in large bowl; add onions, thyme sprigs and buttermilk, turning chicken to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

In large bowl, whisk flour, thyme, salt, cayenne and black pepper. Discarding marinade, press chicken into flour mixture, turning to coat. Keeping pieces separate, place on waxed paper-lined rimmed baking sheet; refrigerate until coating is set, at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.

Heat two 10- or 12-inch (25 or 30 cm) cast-iron skillets over medium heat. Divide 2 cups (500 ml) of the shortening evenly between skillets; heat until speck of flour mixture sizzles and browns. Place half of the chicken, fleshiest side down and in single layer, in skillets. Cover and fry, turning halfway through, until crisp, brown and juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 18 minutes. Drain on paper towel-lined platter.

Strain melted shortening to remove any brown bits. If necessary, add enough of the remaining shortening to make 1 cup (250 ml) in each skillet; fry remaining chicken.
