Jamaican Curry Goat
Jamaican Curry Goat – insanely delicious slow-cooked Jamaican Spiced Curry that is full of flavor and tender to the bone! An absolutely must-make Jamaican food! So easy to make with minimal prep.
If you ask anyone who loves Jamaican food to pick his or her favorite, this Curry Goat would no doubt make an appearance on the list. Although goat meat has become increasingly popular in the United States due to the influx of different cultures, it isn’t celebrated nearly enough as it should. Most people shy away from it. Not a good thing. In fact, did you know it is the most consumed meat throughout the universe? Its health benefits are staggering when compared to other kinds of beef, including chicken. It has less saturated fat, calories, and cholesterol. But what gets me most about goat meat is not its benefits, the flavor is quite appealing, cooked properly the meat is succulent tender and rich. You can purchase goat meat at most International Markets –halal markets, or from Mexican and Latin American butchers. Goat meat is comparable to beef shanks or briskets. So feel free to swap the goat meat for these cuts of meat. This Jamaican Curry Goat is one of my favorite Jamaican dishes — never seem to get enough off of it. Chunky pieces of goat are slowly simmered in aromatic blend garlic, ginger, thyme, onions, and hot pepper and with curry taking center stage, until thick and creamy or however, you like it. For amazing results try making your own curry powder with this blend here. Use less with this blend because it’s homemade and packs a whole lot of spice in it. No fillers.
I like it thick and creamy but have to adjust sometimes for family. In fact, it would be a crime not to savor this curry at least once in your lifetime. 
Oh, be sure to serve it with this Caribbean beans and rice right here. You will be happy you did. 
Enjoy!!!

This recipe was absolutely PERFECT! I have never had goat that tasted this good! Hubby couldn’t stop raving and I couldn’t stop eating haha!
I will only use this recipe, always comes out perfect.
Thanks Carol! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi, Just simmering now and smells fantastic… Just to check… Simmer with lid on or off?
Many thanks
With the lid. 🙂
Once the curry mix is made, you can whip this up again with ease. Thanks for another wonderful recipe!
Thanks Alisha! Glad you liked it!
Planning on making this, just wondering if I could make this in a slow cooker whilst at work?
I love this recipe and have been using this for about 2 years now. As a suggestion, you can add some allspice and also towards the end a splash of coconut milk to the curry. Personally, I felt this added an extra flavour to the dish.
I have made this recipe over and over again! LOVE it – so authentic
This was the PERFECT meal for my partner’s birthday dinner – with your rice & beans recipe, and saltfish fritters for a starter! One question: I made quite a lot…are the leftovers ok to be frozen?
Hi Jenna! I am so happy you liked this Curry Goat Recipe. Yess! Please make sure your curry is completely cold before you freeze it.
I love this recipe really easy to cook and tastes amazing
I made this today and it’s delicious! This was my first time ever having goat meat and I really enjoyed it. I used a small amount of potato flakes to thicken the sauce at the end, instead of using whole potatoes. I didn’t need much, though, because the sauce thickened very nicely by itself even before I added the flakes. I also made the coconut rice you suggested and they were definitely made for each other. So good! Thank you –
Great recipe!
So glad you like it. Let me know how it turns out when you bake it… I can’t wait.
This recepie is excellent, my family loves it. Thank you.
I’m so happy to know this! If you’re up for another curry recipe for next time, here’s one: Ground Beef Curry. Enjoy!
This is the second time we’ve made this and it’s amazing! The pepper kicks up the heat a bit too much for my kids so used hot curry powder instead and it was perfect! Absolutely amazing.
Glad you enjoyed this recipe! I have some awesome list of 25 Insanely Good Summer Desserts your kids might enjoy, too 😉
Been my go to Curry Goat recipe for so long, so finally getting around to a review. Tasty stuff
Wow! Thank you, Marc! Have you also tried the Curried Goat Stew?
I’ve made this recipe at least a dozen time now. Using all sorts of meat from goat, to pork, beef, chicken and even fish. It’s always a crowd pleaser and it’s now one of my most favourite things to eat. It reminds me of the curry my Jamaican grandmother used to make for me as a kid. I’ll never stop eating this.
HI. What cut of meat is used?
