Goat Curry

What is the first dish you ever prepared in your new home? I am a bit superstitious when it comes to food. I believe that the first ever dish one prepares in their new home would dictate how good the food would be for the rest of the time you are there. Sounds like a load of bull abi? Don’t mind me, I am just looking for an excuse for the food I cook to mean something.  At least if ever asked what the first dish I prepared in this flat I would have an answer.

To christen my kitchen I decided to prepare one of my favorites, goat curry. I wasn’t able to get all the original ingredients but it still tasted amazing!

Ingredients:

1kg goat meat (diced)

200g spring onions

500g sweet or irish potato (cubed)

I red pepper

1 green pepper

4 scotch bonnet (hot chili)

4 cloves of garlic

ginger

2 tbs of sunflower oil

1 tbs of curry powder

1 tsp of time

Juice of half a lemon
2 Knorr cubes

Directions:

Add lemon juice, curry and thyme to the meat, mix thoroughly so that the meat is evenly coated with the spices and keep aside for at least 10 minutes. (Ideally you should marinade over night but I had just decided that’s what I wanted to eat for lunch). So what I did was marinade until I had finished preparing the rest of the ingredients.

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium and add the goat meat plus all its juices. Turn down the heat and let the meat sweat for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes increase the heat to medium and add all other ingredients except the potato. Add one cup of water and the Knorr cubes and cook for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook on medium heat until the potatoes are soft.


Serve with steamed rice.
