    Curry goat is a great choice for those just starting to explore Jamaican food, Haitian Foods, or curry foods, with barely any prep time and no special skills required.

     

    Try it out for yourself and you’ll soon see why it’s the culinary icon in the islands!

    Goat

    Though it is not so commonplace in America or Europe, goat is one of the most widely consumed meats in the world. Tastewise, it is similar to beef, and when slow-cooked it has the most beautiful, tender texture.

    While goat has become a bit more easy to find, you may still need to do a little searching to get your hands on this tasty meat.

    Your best bet is to head to an international market or a Mexican or Latin American butcher. If you can’t find any goat, you can always substitute it for beef or even lamb with delicious results.

    Spices

    The spices are what really make this Instant Pot Jamaican inspired Curry Goat dish sing, with bold and vibrant flavors that work beautifully together.

    Ingredient List

    Curry powder normally takes center stage, but in this recipe we are also adding turmeric to the center stage in this aromatic blend. And the meat is cooked in with all the spices so it gets infused with all that delicious flavor.

    Naturally, the recipe has a fair amount of heat thanks to the addition of red pepper or cayenne pepper, but if you’re cooking for children or aren’t too keen on spicy food feel free to dial it back.

    The other herbs and spices in the dish give it all the flavor it needs, even without the heat. 

    How can I thicken up my Instant Pot Curry Goat?

    If the dish is looking a little too thin for your liking there are a couple of things you can do to help thicken it up.

    You can create a slurry by mixing a tablespoon of water with a tablespoon of cornstarch and add it to your pot while the curry is boiling.

    You can do something similar with arrowroot, which you can add directly into your curry for a thickening effect, adding it in small amounts until you reach the right consistency.

    What should I serve with Curry Goat?

    To keep things traditional you can serve your curry goat with some Haitian rice and beans or even some sliced, fried plantain if you can get hold of it.

    Roti, a kind of flatbread, is another typical accompaniment, and is great for mopping up all that tasty sauce.

    Alternatively, plain white rice will do just fine and makes for an easy, no-fuss option that everyone will enjoy.
