Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, season the goat meat with salt, pepper, and half of the curry powder. Rub the spices into the meat and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. Best if allowed to marinate overnight.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
- Add the marinated goat meat to the pot and brown it on all sides. This helps seal in the flavors.
- Sprinkle the remaining curry powder over the meat and stir well to coat. Cook for another minute to toast the curry powder slightly.
- Add the tomatoes, scallions, thyme, and coconut milk to the pot. Stir everything together and bring it to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the goat meat is tender. You can also use a pressure cooker for faster cooking time.
- As the curry goat cooks, make sure to check the liquid level occasionally and add more coconut milk or water if needed.
- Once the meat is tender and the flavors have melded together, remove the thyme sprigs. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve the Jamaican Curry Goat hot with rice and peas or roti bread.

Notes
The cook time for Jamaican Curry Goat is usually around 2 to 3 hours. This allows the goat meat to become tender and for the flavors to develop fully. However, using a pressure cooker can significantly reduce the cook time to approximately 1 hour. Best if seasoned meat is marinated overnight.
