Jamaica Curry Mutton Recipe

How to Make Jamaica Curry Mutton

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 lbs of cubed mutton (or goat/lamb), 1 large chopped onion, and 4 minced cloves of garlic. Stir and fry until the mutton is lightly browned and the onions are translucent (about 8-10 minutes).
2. Stir in 3 tablespoons of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup of chopped scotch bonnet peppers (or to taste), 1 cup of chicken broth, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
3. Add enough water to cover the meat completely. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the meat is very tender.
4. Add 1 pound of peeled and chopped carrots. Continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
5. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot over rice, alongside a refreshing fruit salad.
