Jamaican Curry Goat – insanely delicious slow-cooked Jamaican Spiced Curry that is full of flavor and tender to the bone! An absolutely must-make Jamaican food! So easy to make with minimal prep. Jamaican Curry Goat If you ask anyone who loves Jamaican food to pick his or her favorite, this Curry Goat would no doubt make an appearance on the list. Although goat meat has become increasingly popular in the United States due to the influx of different cultures, it isn’t celebrated nearly enough as it should. Most people shy away from it. Not a good thing. In fact, did you know it is the most consumed meat throughout the universe? Its health benefits are staggering when compared to other kinds of beef, including chicken. It has less saturated fat, calories, and cholesterol. Jamaican Curry Goat But what gets me most about goat meat is not its benefits, the flavor is quite appealing, cooked properly the meat is succulent tender and rich. Jamaican Curry Goat You can purchase goat meat at most International Markets –halal markets, or from Mexican and Latin American butchers. Goat meat is comparable to beef shanks or briskets. So feel free to swap the goat meat for these cuts of meat. This Jamaican Curry Goat is one of my favorite Jamaican dishes — never seem to get enough off of it. Chunky pieces of goat are slowly simmered in aromatic blend garlic, ginger, thyme, onions, and hot pepper and with curry taking center stage, until thick and creamy or however, you like it. For amazing results try making your own curry powder with this blend here. Use less with this blend because it’s homemade and packs a whole lot of spice in it. No fillers. Jamaican Curry Powder I like it thick and creamy but have to adjust sometimes for family. In fact, it would be a crime not to savor this curry at least once in your lifetime. Jamaican Curry Goat Oh, be sure to serve it with this Caribbean beans and rice right here. You will be happy you did. Caribbean Rice and Beans Enjoy!!!

      Many Jamaican cooks prefer Betapac, but Badia has a good mix too if you want a shortcut.

    Delicious recipe… I’m a Muslim and is fasting for Ramadan now. Made it tonight for iftar(dinner after breaking fast) and it was so hearty and comforting. The whole family loved it (and suggested that Imma, you should open up your restaurant).

    I made it with lamb and it did take more than 2 hours to get the meat tender enough. Aslo added carrots to the stew and it turned out great.

    I’ve used many of your recipes and they are all so good!

    I have used this recipe several times and is now my go to recipe. I follow the instructions, even making the mixed curry spice. I don’t put the scotch (personal preference) but replace with a fresh chilly with less heat. I also use the linked recipe for the rice and beans. Every single time it is delicious.

    Delicious! I had to use lamb instead of goat as it’s not generally available in supermarkets where I live, but was amazing nonetheless! There is still a flavour that is missing (or rather not as dominant as it should be) – I just need to put my finger on it, and tweak the curry mix slightly. Otherwise, super happy, and super full!

    As the water reduces do you add more to cover all the meat again? Or just a bit to stop it sticking to the pan? I added just a bit but didn’t have much sauce at the end.

      Hi, Sarah. I’d say add more water as needed, but not that much to cover the meat again.
