Slow Cooker Curry Goat (Coconut Milk Version)

2-2½ lb goat meat

curry powder (see notes

green seasoning (see notes

½ tbsp shado beni (culantro/spirit weed/cilantro works too)

tsp black pepper

garlic powder

onion powder

½ tsp pink salt (or

onion

garlic

ginger (grated/minced)

olive oil (or coconut oil)

curry powder

full fat coconut milk

thyme (tied together)

tomato paste

coconut cream (coconut butter/manna) (heaped)

scotch bonnet (whole)

black pepper, pink salt

Place the washed/dried goat meat in a large bowl.

Add the curry powder, green seasoning, red meat seasoning, shado beni, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, pink salt, onion, scallion, garlic and ginger to the bowl.

Use your hands (can wear gloves) or a large spoon to fold the marinate/seasoning into the goat meat until all of it is fully coated.

Leave the meat to infuse the marinade overnight or for several hours.

To marinate the meat

On medium heat add the oil to a large skillet then add the curry powder and proceed to &quot;cook the curry&quot; for about 1 minute.

Add the goat to the pan and proceed to sear/brown the meat. This should take about 10-15 minutes or so and you may need to do this in batches. During that time the meat should extract its own juices.

Transfer the goat to your slow cooker.

Pour in the coconut milk, add the thyme, tomato paste, coconut cream, scotch bonnet and then stir.

Put the lid on the unit and slow cooker for 4 hours on HIGH.

1½ hours before the finishing time add the yam and push the pieces towards the bottom of the unit. If the curry gravy seems too thick, add a splash of coconut milk to loosen it up!

Remove the thyme stems and scotch bonnet once the goat has finished cooking.

Be sure to do a taste test and adjust adding additional pink salt, black pepper and additional seasoning if needed.

Serve accordingly.

Thank you for sharing with us….

Awesome! Made for a friend for his birthday and it was a hit. Thank you!

Wow my first time trying curry goat and this was amazing. My partner thoroughly enjoyed it and said it was the best he has tasted by far! Thank you

I have just found your website. I love the way you explain your food culture. I was born in India but grew up in the East end of London. I learnt to cook curry goat from my mother in law (although not Jamaican) so I welcome your authentic version. I look forward to cooking it your way.

Hey, my family is from the Windies, mum Jam, dad Trini, and being a chef myself, authenticity is massively important to me, I've followed many many recipes, ideas, I've mixed and match across different recommendations and learnt from family who grew up on it, and I have to say, this is the first recipe I've tried that came out bang on the money, there are so many things you can add and do to Curry Goat, it's a mindfield of suggestions, trial and error, this recipe, I would not change!

Best meal ever tasted! Kind of hot though😱

Lesa, I love curry goat. This recipe is awesome. When I lived in Florida, I had ackee trees. This made me popular with the Islanders. I was at a party my island friends were having. The hostess’ mother found out I had ackee trees. She sought me out, “ YOU GOT ACKEE TREES??” I kept her in ackee and she taught me to cook island food, except curry goat. Thank you, Lesa! This recipe is great!

I tried  your recipe  and it was great!
Do you have one for stewed chicken?

Thank you for sharing you curry goat recipe. It is very easy follow.  Gave it to my son to make for his girlfriend's family in South Carolina. I didn't have the time to explain the details of how i make it, so i googled "how to make curried goat" and your site came up.  I read it and found most of the ingredients are the same as the ones used.  I sent your recipe to him and he and his girlfriend made it with some additional tips from me. According to them, the finish product was very good; they all loved it and thank me for sending the recipe. So kudos to you and I am extending their "Thank you" as well.
