Goat meat, which is not commonly eaten in the United States (except in the Southwest), appears in many West Indian recipes. The Trinis sometimes eat curried goat Jamaican-style, but this version with coconut is more customary.

Ingredients


  • 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter) or vegetable oil

  • 1 onion, chopped fine

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 seasoning peppers, seeds and stems removed, chopped fine (or substitute Yellow Wax Hots)

  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 teaspoons red chile powder (powdered pure chiles, without spices)

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1½ pounds lean goat meat (or substitute lamb), cut into ½ -inch cubes

  • 1½ cups water

  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream, or more to taste

  • salt to taste



Instructions


Heat the ghee or oil in a skillet, add the onion, garlic, peppers, and ginger and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the coriander, turmeric, black pepper, chile powder, and cumin and sauté for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add the meat and brown it, stirring occasionally. Add the water and simmer the meat until tender, about 1 hour. Add more water if the mixture becomes too dry. Stir in the coconut cream and cook for 5 minutes.

Add salt to taste and serve hot with rice and a chutney of choice.
