Instructions

1- Prep the Goat Meat:

Wash the goat meat thoroughly using lemons or vinegar to help remove any gamey scent and impurities.
Pat the meat dry with paper towels.

2- Season the Meat:

In a large bowl, combine goat meat with curry powder, cloves, and all-purpose seasoning. Mix well to ensure each piece is coated.
Cover and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or for best results, overnight.

3- Cook the Curry:

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot (such as a Dutch oven, Le Creuset brand) over medium heat.
Stir in the remaining curry powder and let it cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

4- Brown the Meat:

Add the seasoned goat meat to the pot and stir well, ensuring the meat is seared on all sides.

5- Simmer:

Pour boiling water into the pot until the meat is just covered. Bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 1 hour.

6- Add Vegetables:

After 1 hour, add onions, carrots, garlic, sweet pepper, ginger, spring greens, and coriander to the pot. Stir to combine.
Optional: Add the whole Scotch bonnet pepper with the stem attached, depending on your spice preference.

7- Final Cook:

Continue simmering the curry goat for an additional hour, stirring occasionally and adding more boiling water if needed.

8- Serve:

Enjoy your Grenadian Curried Goat with rice or flatbread, garnished with additional coriander if desired.
