Ultimate Slow Cooker Curry Goat Recipes

Steps:

• If you can find Jamaican curry powder, use it and omit the allspice. If not, use regular curry powder and add the allspice to it. Add 6 tbsp of curry powder, more if you like it more spicy.
• Cut the meat into large chunks, maybe 2-3 inches across. Feel free to add the bones if you have them; you can remove them later.
• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Mix in 2 tablespoons of the curry powder and heat until fragrant.
• Pat the meat dry and brown well in the curried oil. Do this in batches and don't overcrowd the pot. It may take a while to do this, maybe 30 minutes or so. Set the browned meat aside in a bowl. (When all the meat is browned, if you have bones, add them and brown them, too.).
• Add the onions and pepper to the pot and sauté, stirring from time to time, until the onions just start to brown, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle some salt over them as they cook. Add the ginger and garlic, mix well and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
• Put the meat (and bones, if using) back into the pot, along with any juices left in the bowl. Mix well. Pour in the coconut milk and tomatoes and 4-5 tablespoons of the curry powder. Add 4 cups of water. Stir to combine. Add the thyme.
• If you want to cook on the stove, bring to a simmer and let it cook until the meat is falling-apart tender, which will take at least 2 hours. Longer if you have a mature goat. If you want to cook in a crockpot, transfer the mixture to the crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
• If you have cooked the meat on the stove, add the potatoes when the meat is close to being done - tender but not falling apart. Cook about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are done. Then, skim the fat off the top of the pot if needed.
• If you cooked the meat in the crockpot, boil the potatoes until tender. Skim the layer of fat off the top of the curry, if needed, and mix in the potatoes.
• If you used bones, remove them before serving.

Steps:

• Combine goat meat, chile pepper, curry powder, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to blend, 1 hour to overnight.
• Remove goat meat mixture from bowl and pat dry, reserving marinade. Heat vegetable oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook meat in batches, browning on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer meat to a plate. Add onion and celery to the stockpot; cook and stir until onion begins to brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Stir browned goat meat into onion mixture. Add reserved marinade, vegetable broth, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour. Stir in potatoes; simmer until potatoes and meat are tender, 35 to 45 minutes more.
• Remove stockpot from heat, skim off surface fat, and remove bay leaf.

Steps:

• The evening before you want the curry: Wash the meat in cold water and remove the bones (you can leave a few bones if you don't mind them as they can help enhance the flavour too). Pat the meat dry with kitchen roll and place in a large bowl. Add lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of Jamaican curry seasoning, finely chopped garlic, ginger and chopped onion. Use your hands and rub the mixture into the meat. Cover the bowl with cling film; leave it in the fridge to marinate overnight.
• At least 5 hours before you want to serve: Heat oil in large fying pan so its hot but not smoking. Add marinated meat and fry until lightly browned on all sides, around 2-3 minutes. Add any marinade juices that are left and 1 tablespoon plain flour; fry for another minute or so. Transfer the meat to the slow cooker.
• Stir in onion slices, cauliflower florets, minced chilli pepper, 1 tablespoon curry seasoning, chopped tomatoes and coconut milk. (If you are adding/using different vegetables, add them now).
• Turn the slow cooker onto high setting for 5 hours or low setting if you plan to leave it over 6 hours or all day... It can't be overdone so 8+ hours is no problem but will need 5 hours minimum for the meat to get really juicy and soft.
