Ingredients | Peanut Porridge Jamaican Recipe

3 pounds bone-in goat meat, cubed

½ cup white vinegar

1 large onion, chopped

½ cup Jamaican curry powder, divided

2 Scotch bonnet peppers, seeded and chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped

6 allspice berries (pimento seeds)

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 large potatoes, diced (Optional)

2 carrots, diced (Optional)

water to cover

Directions

Combine goat meat and vinegar in a large bowl; cover with water. Let stand, about 5 minutes. Drain, massaging the meat.

Mix onion, 6 tablespoons curry powder, Scotch bonnet peppers, garlic, allspice berries, salt, pepper, and thyme together in a bowl to make a spice rub. Rub into goat meat until coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.

Scrape spice rub off the goat meat, reserving it in a bowl.

Heat oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons curry powder; stir until dark and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add goat meat; cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Stir reserved spice rub, potatoes, and carrots into the saucepan. Pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, adding more water as needed, until goat meat is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Discard allspice berries. Season with salt and pepper.

Rinsing the goat in vinegar and water helps break down the muscle and will help make the meat tender

Substitute 2 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme for the fresh if desired.

Use gloves when dealing with Scotch bonnet peppers as they are very hot. I used gloves when preparing the rub as well as removing it from the meat.
