Description

This Jamaican-style one-pot curried goat recipe features goat meat and potatoes cooked in a flavorful curry with spicy chiles, curry powder, and garlic.

Ingredients

2 pounds goat stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 fresh hot chile peppers, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons curry powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 bay leaf
3 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks, or more as desired

Directions

1 Combine goat meat, chile peppers, curry powder, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 1 hour to overnight.
2 Remove goat meat mixture from bowl; pat dry, reserving marinade. Heat vegetable oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook goat meat in batches, browning on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes per batch; transfer to a plate. Add onion and celery to stockpot; cook and stir until onion begins to brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
3 Stir goat meat into onion mixture. Add reserved marinade, vegetable broth, and bay leaf; bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour. Stir in potatoes; simmer until potatoes and meat are tender, 35 to 45 minutes more.
4 Remove stockpot from heat; skim off surface fat and remove bay leaf.
