An array of delicious flavours help to transform this cheap cut of meat into a classic Caribbean dish. Whatever you do, you have to call this Caribbean dish curry goat - and not goat curry.
This curry goat recipe gets its bright yellow colour from turmeric and curry powder and also contains some pretty strong flavours, including whole allspice berries, chillies and garlic. Ideally, you should marinade your goat curry for 24 hours, or at least over night in the fridge to let it take in all of the flavours. In his recipe, Levi Roots suggests adding a few slices of Scotch bonnet. But, if you like your goat curry extra spicy, you could add a whole Scotch bonnet while marinading and cooking and then remove before serving. For the perfect meal, Levi Roots suggests serving this with his traditional rice 'n' peas. 'I used to screw my face when people would say 'goat curry'', chef Levi Roots told GoodtoKnow. 'You can’t change the language, it's a serious thing to many Caribbean people.'

Method
- Combine all of the marinade ingredients together in a bowl.
- Add the diced goat to the marinade, ensuring it is fully covered, and leave covered in the fridge for 24 hours to take in all the flavours.
- To cook, transfer the goat to a pan and cook gently over a low heat until the goat releases its juices.
- Reduce the heat and allow the meat to simmer until the moisture evaporates (approx 30 mins).
- Now, add the coconut milk, lamb boullion, Levi’s Reggae Reggae Jerk Marinade and water to the pan. Stir, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Then add the potatoes and cook for a further 15 minutes.
- Finally, add the peppers and cook for a final 10-15 minutes until the potatoes and peppers are soft and the goat is tender.
- Serve with Levi Roots' rice ‘n’ peas and roti bread.

Levi Roots is a Jamaican-born chef and an inventor in the food industry, most famous for pitching his homemade jerk bbq sauce - Reggae Reggae Sauce- to the investors on Dragons Den. He gave 40 per cent of his business to Dragon Peter Jones and Richard Farleigh for a £50,000 investment. His secret ingredient sauce was a huge hit and in 2007, it hit shelves across the country and made him an instant success. He has since been invited by Prime Ministers to Downing Street, in recognition of his notable success.
