  • Place the goat in a ziplock or cover bowl and put in the fridge for four hours or ideally overnight.
    Marinating curry goat
  • Once your goat is done marinating, on the stovetop, place a large pot over medium heat and put in a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sprinkle the remaining curry powder in the oil and cook for a few minutes and then add the goat meat.
  • Once the meat has a nice brown color or sear to it, add 2 cups of water or stock and the bay leaves and bring to a boil. Once it is boiling, turn down to a medium low heat and cover.
  • Cook for a minimum of two hours or until meat is tender.
  • Alternatively, if you have a sous vide machine available, vacuum seal the marinated goat and sous vide at 200 degrees for a minimum of 6 hrs. Then move to next step.
