Slow Cooking Steps:

Using a Pressure Cooker
  1. Remove excess fat from meat. Wash and rinse meat with water, vinegar, and lime juice. Pat dry and set aside.
  2. Season meat in a large bowl with green seasoning, curry powder, turmeric powder, all-purpose seasoning, cumin, ginger, and salt. Marinate overnight or 2 hours before cooking.
  3. In a pressure cooker pot, heat oil on medium to high heat. Add curry powder to hot oil and allow the curry to burn.
  4. Add pimento seeds to the pot. Then add seasoned curry goat to the pot and stir to allow the meat to spring its own juices.
  5. Allow to cook for 5-7 minutes. Cover the meat with water, then cover the pot with a pressure cooker cover and cook for an hour.
  6. Remove pot from heat and allow to cool before removing cover.
  7. Add back to medium heat, then add coconut milk, escallion, thyme, and bell peppers. Stir and allow to cook for 15 minutes.
  8. Add potatoes, carrots, and scotch bonnet pepper to the pot and cook until vegetables are soft and tender.
  9. Remove from heat and serve.
