curry goat

Well, my experience of cooking goat is roasting it and so on, but treat it like lamb.

I cooked it to almost exactly same methods as lamb and it turned out beautifully.
 
I had a goat byriani at some Indian in Birmingham (apparently it was on one of Gordon Ramsay's TV shows or something?) and it was absolutely delicious.
 
You need to cook goat for a lot longer than lamb. Definitely worth the wait. My stepdad is from the Caribbean and makes an amazing goat curry, will ask him the recipe.
 
I cook this regulary, but i use Mutton instead of Goat.

CURRIED MUTTON
INGREDIANTS. Serves 4

2 Lb. mutton. I use either shoulder or back chop. (Get it chopped up!)
1 Teaspoon black pepper
3 Tablespoons medium Curry powder (preferably CARRIBEAN style, read below)
1 tablespoon hot curry powder (same brand)
2 Cloves minced garlic
1 Onion, finely diced
1 Scotch bonnet pepper, minced or 2 if you like it hot.
2 Sprigs thyme or 2 pinches dried thyme
3 Cups stock (I use 1 chicken and 1 lamb stock cube each) or 2 pints total.

Method

Fry onion gently for 5 mins.
Add garlic, fry for 1 min,
Add meat and fry for 3 mins.
Add curry powder and black pepper, peppers and thyme, fry for 1 min.
Add stock. Stir and cover then cook gently for 2 to 3 hours. Remove lid for last hour. Test a bit of meat to see if soft.
Add a little more stock if needed.
Its a balance, the more liquid, the less flavour, the less liquid, the more flavour, i use a pressure cooker, and the liquid id usually around 2" deep.


Its tastes better if left to cool down, put in fridge and then eaten next day or day after.

I have tried other curry powders, but the carribean powders that come in a tub are better.

edit.
I dont marinade the meat first, as i found its nicer cooking it first then leave for at least 24hrs before eating.

serve with
Rice & peas serves 4

1 medium sized can red kidney beans
1 can coconut milk
2 cups of easy cook long grain rice
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 table spoon oil
1 scotch bonnet pepper (whole, do not chop up)
4 cups of liquid

Drain the liquid from the can of beans into a cup and add the can of coconut milk and enough water to make four cups of liquid. Place liquids in a pot with beans, onions, garlic, thyme and oil, bring to a boil. Add rice and stir for a minute. Reduce heat to Low. Place scotch bonnet pepper on top of liquid and cover tightly for 30 minutes or until rice is cooked. Remove scotch bonnet pepper before serving.

Remove lid and let sit for around 20-30 mins before serving, stirring it occasionally.
