Here's a recipe for Jamaican Curried Goat:

Ingredients:

 - 2 lbs goat meat, cut into bite-sized pieces

 - 2 tablespoons curry powder

 - 1 onion, finely chopped

 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

 - 2 tomatoes, chopped

 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

 - 1 tablespoon ginger, grated

 - 2 cups water or beef broth

 - 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed

 - 1 scotch bonnet pepper (optional, for heat)

 - Salt and pepper to taste

 - Fresh thyme leaves

 - Chopped scallions for garnish

Instructions:

1- In a bowl, season the goat meat with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of curry powder. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

2- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the remaining curry powder and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3- Add the chopped onions, garlic, and ginger to the pot. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent.

4- Add the marinated goat meat to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

5- Once the meat is browned, add the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6- Pour in the water or beef broth, ensuring that the meat is covered. Add the scotch bonnet pepper if using, and a few sprigs of thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.

7- Once the meat is tender, add the cubed potatoes to the pot and continue to simmer until the potatoes are cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 20-30 minutes.

8- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove the scotch bonnet pepper and thyme sprigs before serving.

9- Serve the Jamaican Curried Goat hot, garnished with chopped scallions, alongside rice and peas or with traditional Jamaican dumplings.
