Curried Goat Recipes?

[buddy28]

I've found a few traditional recipes on the net and a tried couple out but they seem to lack the sweet, rich, deep flavor of curried goat bought at a couple local jamican take-out restaurants.

My next batch will definitly include more sugar. Anyone have any secrets or suggestions?

I have never even seen a supermarket that sold goat meat...
guess if i wanted it i would have to catch and kill my own...

I got a local market that sells it, but i dont think i could eat it, what does it taste like?

Its good. Goat meat tastes like 2/3's consumer beef + 1/3 wild game - deer.

Different at first, but addictive after a few servings. If you're going to try it, get the curried goat. Awesome.

I used to live with a Jamaican girl in Brooklyn. She made the best curried goat! YUM! Good memories.

If your in NYC try Church Street between Flatbush and Ocean Ave. There is a butcher there who has it - if your eating bread then be sure to hit one of the bakeries there too. Otherwise you may have to head to a neighborhood market or butcher who caters to a carribbean clientele. One of my Haitian friends tells me there are some in New Jersey, but it takes some looking.

I suspect on of the online meat people might be able to provide as well - hmm I think one is called Omaha steaks or something. It will probably be pricey but if I remember they deliver in dry ice and in pre-cut and sealed portions.

Edit: my bad I thought this was about where to find it. I will see if I can get my Ex's recipie.

my mom's recipe had some chinese influence (doh being chinese-jamaican) included soy, oyster sauce, sugar, lime juice, green peppers, fresh coconut water (from inside a fresh coconut) and green onions

Try about a half cup of.......Coconut milk. I am willing to bet that's why you don't have the sweet taste you are looking for. Put some cabbage with rice and peas on the side. Now you're eating!!!!

Hey bro,
Good to hear that you enjoy one of my FAV childhood dishes. My family is caribbean-born, and I grew up on the food. Most of my American friends wince at the thought of eating goat meat, so it's always good to hear that there's another fan.
Btw, Jamaicans didn't invent/create curried goat nor many other caribbean things that they are credited for. Curried goat is from the indian community in the caribbean (which is quite large).
So now...What would you like to know? What kind of recipe are you following? Most self-respecting indians/caribbean make their own curry at home - customizing the balance of delicate/stronger flavors to their own liking. You want to slow cook the meat over v. low heat - I usually go for 1-1.5 hrs) - this will make it nice and tender. I haven't tried using a pressure cooker, b/c I know it'd kill the effect of the spices/marinade.
Tell me more about what you're doing and I'll let you know what you should change. I make curries a couple times a month and have 3 styles down to near perfection.
