Equipment

  • 1 dutch oven

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs goat meat, cut in chunks or protein of choice
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose green seasoning
  • 4 TBSP curry powder
  • 2 1/2 cups vegetable stock or corresponding stock based on protein choice
  • 1 small white potato cut in chunks
  • 2-3 medium carrots cut in chunks
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion sliced
  • 2 tsp whole allspice berries
  • 2 TBSP tomato paste
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper or habanero pepper
  • 2-3 TBSP oil for searing
  • 2 stalks green onion, chopped optional
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Add goat (or protein of choice) to mixing bowl along with green seasoning and curry powder. Mix to cover goat pieces uniformly and allow to marinate at least 2 hours for best results or overnight if possible.
  • In a dutch oven over medium high heat, sear goat until browned on all sides.
  • Add allspice berries, onions, scotch bonnet pepper, tomato paste & vegetable stock to goat and allow to braise for 2-3 hours (or 30-45 minutes if making chicken). Liquid should just cover goat meat, add more stock (or water) if needed and check intermediately to ensure liquid does not dry out.
  • Add salt to taste along with chunked white potato and carrots and allow to braise for additional 5-7 minutes until carrots and potatoes cooked.
  • Turn off heat then add chopped green onions (if using) and serve over rice or with roti!
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat when desired.
