Vinegar Wash: Before marinating the goat meat, wash it with vinegar to help tenderize it. The acidity of the vinegar helps break down the tough fibers in the meat, making it more tender and flavorful. Simply rinse the goat meat with vinegar and water before patting it dry and proceeding with the marinating process.
* In a large bowl, combine the goat meat with thyme, onion, ginger, scallions, scotch bonnet pepper, allspice, roasted garlic herb rub, fennel seeds, black pepper, turmeric, and curry powder. Mix well to coat the meat evenly. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
* Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the marinated goat meat in batches until browned on all sides.
* In the same pot, add the remaining herbs and aromatics (thyme, onion, ginger, scallions, scotch bonnet pepper) along with the chicken bouillon cube. Pour enough water to cover the herbs and aromatics, creating a flavorful broth.
* Add apple cider vinegar to the pot to help remove the gamey flavor from the meat.
* Cook the goat meat over medium-low heat for about 2 hours, adding warm water as needed to keep the meat submerged in the broth. This ensures that the meat becomes tender and flavorful.
* Once the meat is cooked and tender, add chopped carrots, tarragon, oregano, scallion, and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until the carrots are tender.
* Enjoy with rice and peas or your favorite side dishes.
By following these steps, you can enjoy tender, flavorful Jamaican Curried Goat without the gamey flavor. Adjust the seasoning and spice level to your preference, and savor the delicious flavors of this traditional dish.
To ensure tender and flavorful goat meat without a pressure cooker, follow these tips:
- Marinate the meat overnight or for several hours using ingredients like vinegar, citrus juice, yogurt, or tenderizing spices to break down tough fibers and infuse flavor.
- Choose cuts known for tenderness, such as shoulder or leg, which contain more connective tissue and fat to keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Cook the goat meat low and slow over low heat for an extended period, allowing collagen and connective tissues to gradually break down for tender results. - Consider using a Dutch oven or slow cooker.
- Add moisture to the cooking vessel with liquid like broth, wine, or water to prevent the meat from drying out and contribute to tenderness.
- Use acidic ingredients such as tomatoes, wine, or vinegar in the cooking liquid or marinade to help tenderize the meat by breaking down tough fibers.
Test for doneness by checking for easy piercing with a fork or knife in the thickest part. The meat should be fork-tender and easy to shred.
- Allow the cooked goat meat to rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute for a more tender and flavorful final dish. Adjust cooking times and methods based on the specific cut of meat and personal preferences
