Instructions

1- Prepare the Goat Meat:

Wash 4-5 lbs of bone-in goat meat using the juice of 2 limes and cool water.

2- Season the Goat:

In a large bowl, mix the washed goat meat with 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of homemade Caribbean Green Seasoning, 1 medium sliced onion, 1 scotch bonnet pepper, 1 medium sliced tomato, and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger. Mix well to coat the meat evenly.
Marinate the meat in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 2 hours.

3- Caramelize the Sugar:

Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil in a red Crockpot Dutch Oven over high heat.
Add 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar and stir constantly until it turns dark amber. Be cautious not to burn it.

4- Brown the Goat:

Add the marinated goat meat to the pot, stirring well to coat the meat with the caramelized sugar.
Reduce the heat to medium and add 5-8 whole garlic cloves. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes to let the meat release its juices.

5- Reduce Liquid:

Remove the lid and increase the heat to high. Stir occasionally for 4-5 minutes until the liquids evaporate and oil is visible.

6- Add Water and Coconut:

Pour 3-4 cups of hot water into the pot and mix in 1/2 cup coconut milk powder (adjust water if using liquid coconut milk).

7- Simmer the Stew:

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for at least 2 1/2 hours until the meat is tender. Stir and add more water if needed.

8- Final Touches:

Taste and adjust salt if necessary. Modify gravy thickness by adding water or simmering uncovered.
Stir in fresh parsley before serving.
