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!!!

Omg this came out so delicious thank you so much, can’t wait to try another dish by you.
Great, Thank you for sharing your experience with me. On a lighter note, as you like the recipe, I would say it deserves 5-star rating as well 🙂
This recipe turned out amazing. No goaty flavor at all, thanks to curry.
Yayy, Thank you for trying this recipe and sharing your precious words with me. Stay tuned and more amazingly delicious recipes:)
I want to try this, can I finish cooking it in my slow cooker instead of simmering on the stove top? Thanks
You absolutely can. It turns out great. Thanks for commenting.
I love this recipe
Yayy!!! Thank you so much dear, Much Love:)
I’m part Jamaican and I would go there every year for my birthday anniversary and Mom would cook it All the time
Good to hear that:)
Hey Amina, thanks for sharing! 🙂 can not wait to try it! Is there an alternative for your curry? I am starting in the kitchen world and I would like something easier haha any curry powders brand that you could recommend? Thanks for reading!
Many Jamaican cooks prefer Betapac, but Badia has a good mix too if you want a shortcut.
Thank you again! I live in the UK so any of them are very accesible (I guess in Amazon). I think someone mentioned Dunn’s, I will try and let you know! 🙂
Sure you will find. Thank you for being very engaged on our blog. Enjoy Cooking!!!
Delicious recipe… I’m a Muslim and is fasting for Ramadan now. Made it tonight for iftar(dinner after breaking fast) and it was so hearty and comforting. The whole family loved it (and suggested that Imma, you should open up your restaurant).
I made it with lamb and it did take more than 2 hours to get the meat tender enough. Aslo added carrots to the stew and it turned out great.
I’ve used many of your recipes and they are all so good!
Wao amazing to hear your story. Much love and respect, Thank you for your feedback!!!
I’ve made this many times and have had happy hearts leave the party always
Great to hear that. Thanks for the feedback!!!
My Guyanese man is so impressed with my cooking skills, thanks to you!!
Amazing to hear that, Wish you more happiness in your life. Try some other recipes and get more compliments, Yayyy!!!
I have used this recipe several times and is now my go to recipe. I follow the instructions, even making the mixed curry spice. I don’t put the scotch (personal preference) but replace with a fresh chilly with less heat. I also use the linked recipe for the rice and beans. Every single time it is delicious.
Great to hear that you customized it. Try some other recipes you would love too.
Delicious! I had to use lamb instead of goat as it’s not generally available in supermarkets where I live, but was amazing nonetheless! There is still a flavour that is missing (or rather not as dominant as it should be) – I just need to put my finger on it, and tweak the curry mix slightly. Otherwise, super happy, and super full!
Pimento and Use Dunns Curry powder Thank me later
Great recipe… turned out well!
As the water reduces do you add more to cover all the meat again? Or just a bit to stop it sticking to the pan? I added just a bit but didn’t have much sauce at the end.
Hi, Sarah. I’d say add more water as needed, but not that much to cover the meat again.
Man this is my GO TO recipe!! Always a hit and everyone loves it!
I loves this recipe so much!!!!!
Have made this recipe many times and never disappoints!
I have tried a few different recipes and this is my favourite. Always a winner!
