1
Thoroughly wash the goat meat and place in a bowl. Season generously with salt, jerk seasoning, Cajun seasoning, curry powder, Jamaican curry powder (if using), pimento seeds, and green seasoning blend. Massage the spices well into every piece of meat to ensure even coating. Let marinate overnight or for several hours.
2
Heat cooking oil in a pot and sauté the minced garlic and onion until fragrant.
3
Add curry powder and toast it in the pot, allowing the curry grains to release their flavors. This step is crucial for building deep, complex flavors.
4
Add the well-seasoned goat meat and mix thoroughly so all pieces absorb the flavors from the toasted curry.
5
Cover the pot and cook on low heat for 10–15 minutes, allowing the meat to produce its own juices and lock in all the flavors before adding any liquid.
6
Add enough hot water to cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to the lowest setting. Cover and simmer for 1–1½ hours or until the meat is very tender. For quicker cooking, use a pressure cooker.
7
Add the chopped potatoes, pimiento peppers, scallion, thyme, and whole scotch bonnet pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
8
Add coconut milk (optional), which adds depth to the curry. If needed, adjust seasoning with all-purpose seasoning.
9
Cover and cook for another 10–15 minutes to let all the ingredients meld together. Total cooking time is approximately 2 hours.
