Ingredients List:

For the Curry Goat:

• 2 lbs Goat meat (or lamb as substitute)
• 3 tbsp Chief Hot & Spicy Curry Goat Powder
• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 Pimento Pepper, chopped
• 1 Scotch Bonnet Pepper, optional for extra heat
• 2 cups Water or stock
• Salt to taste

For the Tamarind Pepper Sauce:

• 6 Paula Tamarind Balls (crushed)
• 2 tbsp Bertie’s Slight Pepper Sauce
• 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup Water

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Season the Meat: Rub the goat meat with Chief Hot & Spicy Curry Goat Powder, garlic, salt, and onion. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Cook the Curry Base: Heat oil in a heavy pot. Add curry powder paste (mix curry powder with a splash of water) and let it “burn” for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the Meat: Toss in the seasoned goat and stir until coated with the curry base. Cook until browned.
4. Simmer: Add water or stock, pimento pepper, and Scotch Bonnet if using. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1–1.5 hours until the meat is tender.
5. Prepare Tamarind Pepper Sauce: In a small pan, dissolve crushed tamarind balls in water. Add Bertie’s Slight Pepper Sauce and brown sugar. Simmer until thickened into a tangy, spicy glaze.
6. Finish & Serve: Once the goat is tender, drizzle the tamarind pepper sauce over the curry. Serve hot with rice, roti, or bread.

Tips & Serving Suggestions:

• Balance the Heat: Bertie’s Slight Pepper Sauce adds fire, but the tamarind glaze cools it down with a sweet-sour twist.
• Make it a Feast: Pair with Trini roti or rice and peas for a complete Caribbean spread.
• Extra Kick: Keep a bottle of Bertie’s Pepper Sauce on the table for those who want more heat.
