Island Goat Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Scrub limes well. Use a peeler to remove only the zest. Set zest aside and juice the limes. Set juice aside.
• Heat peanut oil in a heavy skillet until shimmering. Add garlic, onion, ginger and lemon grass; cook, stirring, until tender but not beginning to brown. Add goat meat and reduce heat to medium; cook until all sides are brown but the interior is not cooked. Add lime zests, sweet potatoes, chayotes, coconut, rum and stock/water. Simmer 45 minutes. Add water as needed but take care towards the end of the cooking time, as the final result should be stew rather than soup. You may also use a little more rum, but take care to taste first.
• Meanwhile, dice half the red and yellow pepper strips.
• At the end of the simmering time, stir in the pepper dice and some of the curry paste. Taste and add more curry paste accordingly. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in coconut liquid; simmer, stirring, for 1-2 minutes. Stir in reserved lime juice and remove lime zest. Turn off heat and taste before adding salt as desired.
• Place cooked rice on a platter and make a well in the middle, mounding it around the edges. Put the goat curry mixture into the well. To garnish the top of the stew, alternately arrange strips of red and yellow peppers in spoke formation. Arrange the egg quarters around the edges and arrange or scatter cilantro prettily. Place lime wedges around the edges of the rice.
• Diners can squeeze lime juice over their own portions to taste.

Steps:

• Add the goat meat, allspice, seasoning salt, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated ginger and 3 cups water to a pressure cooker. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
• On the stovetop in a deep pot, add the oil, curry powder, 1 tablespoon minced garlic and 1 tablespoon grated ginger and cook over low heat until all the ingredients combine together in a paste, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the scallions and habanero peppers and let simmer 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the goat and cooking liquid to the curry paste. Add more water if necessary, and simmer until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Be careful not to overcook as the meat will get mushy and fall apart.
• Add the potatoes to the meat mixture and simmer until the goat is tender and the potatoes are cooked, about 1/2 hour more. Serve hot with accompaniments.

Steps:

• Wash goat meat well under cold running water and pat dry. Rub in salt and 1 teaspoon turmeric powder. Set aside for 10 minutes.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat oil and add sugar, allowing it to caramelize. Saute potatoes in the caramelized sugar until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove potatoes and set aside.
• Stir in cardamom pods, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Add sliced onion, chile peppers, garlic, and ginger. Cook until onions are soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, remaining 2 teaspoons turmeric powder, and chili powder; cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Add goat meat, stirring to blend everything. Add enough water to cover the meat, about 2 cups.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Taste curry and adjust seasoning with salt and sugar to taste if necessary.
• Check the goat to make sure it is tender. Add the potatoes and about 1/4 cup more water. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Adjust seasoning once more. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Steps:

• Place the onion, garlic and ginger in a food processor and blend to a purée. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish, add the onion mixture and cook for 5 mins until softened. Add the chillies, curry leaves, thyme, curry powder and 2 tsp salt. Cook for 2-3 mins until fragrant.
• Tip the mutton or goat into the pan. Cook for 5 mins over a medium-high heat until the meat has browned. Add the chopped tomatoes and stock. Increase the heat, bring to the boil and cook for 10 mins. Reduce heat, cover and leave to simmer gently for 2½ hrs - remove the lid for the final 30 mins of cooking.
• Add the beans to heat through, plus more chilli if you want it spicier. After 5 mins more, remove from the heat. Add the lemon juice and coriander, and stir well. Serve with warmed roti and rice.
