Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Goat Meat

  1. Add half the chopped seasonings, thyme, pimento, curry powder, and all the powdered seasonings to the goat meat.

  2. Mix thoroughly to coat the meat evenly.

Step 3: Sear the Meat

  2. Scrape off the chopped seasonings from the goat meat (reserving them for later) and add the meat to the cooker.

  3. Sear the meat on all sides for 5-10 minutes to lock in the flavors.

Step 4: Pressure Cook

  2. Close the pressure cooker and cook for 20 minutes until the meat is tender.

Step 5: Add Vegetables and Simmer

  1. Once the pressure cooker has cooled, check the meat for tenderness.

  2. Add the diced potatoes, carrots, and the rest of the chopped seasonings.

  3. Simmer over low heat for another 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked and the gravy has thickened.

  4. Add salt to taste.
