This Jamaican goat curry recipe is a great introduction to eating goat. If you can’t get Jamaican curry powder use a mild Madras powder and add a pinch of ground allspice

- Jamaican curry powder (try Dunn’s River) 4 tbsp
- garlic 4 cloves, and 2 crushed

- thyme 3 sprigs, leaves picked
- tomatoes 4, roughly chopped
- light chicken stock 600ml
- waxy potatoes 300g, peeledand cut into chunks
- rice to serve
Method:
- The day before, mix the goat meat with 2 tbsp of the curry powder, the whole bashed garlic cloves, a good grinding of black pepper and 1 tsp salt. Cover and leave to marinate overnight.
- The next day, heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Add 2 tbsp oil to a large ovenproof pan with a lid. Add the marinated meat in batches, discarding the whole garlic, and brown all over. Scoop out onto a plate once browned.
