Curry Goat

— Tender, Bold, and Richly Spiced

Curry Goat is one of the most beloved dishes in Caribbean cuisine, known for its deep flavor, tender meat, and rich curry gravy. Slow cooking allows the spices to fully penetrate the goat meat, creating a hearty and satis  fying meal that’s full of island tradition.

The goat is seasoned generously with curry powder, green seasoning, garlic, ginger, and fresh herbs, then browned to develop flavor before simmering low and slow. Potatoes are added during the final stage to absorb the curry gravy and give the dish its signature thickness.

Perfect for family gatherings or comforting weekend meals, this Curry Goat is best served with rice, roti, or boiled provisions.
