Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Marinade
- 1 1/2 pounds goat meat (bone-in or boneless, cut into chunks)
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Aromatics and Vegetables
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 scallions (sliced)
- 1 scotch bonnet pepper (whole or halved for less heat)
- 1 tomato (chopped)
Liquids and Finish
- 1 1/2 cups beef or chicken broth
- 8 oz egg noodles or lo mein noodles (cooked and drained)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the Meat: In a bowl, season the goat meat with curry powder, allspice, turmeric, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best flavor.
- Sear the Goat: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the goat meat and sear on all sides until browned. Remove the meat and set it aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add onion, garlic, ginger, scallions, and the scotch bonnet pepper. Sauté until fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped tomato and cook for 2 minutes to release the flavors.
- Simmer the Meat: Return the goat meat to the pot, pour in the broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
- Prepare Noodles Mixture: Once the meat is cooked, remove the bones if using bone-in pieces. Add the cooked egg noodles, soy sauce, and brown sugar to the pot. Toss everything to coat the noodles and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Season and Garnish: Adjust seasoning by adding lime juice, salt, and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve hot for a comforting and flavorful meal.
Notes
- You can substitute goat meat with lamb or beef if preferred.
- Use ramen, rice noodles, or spaghetti if egg noodles aren’t available.
- For milder heat, use only half a scotch bonnet pepper or substitute with a milder chili.
