Instant Pot Jamaican Brown Stew Goat

Boring Dinner Plate

I have been searching all over the internet to find a recipe like this Brown Stew Goat, but I could not, so I decided to make it myself. There must be someone else out there looking for a change to their meals and would like to try something new to spice up the dinner table, just like I did with this Brown Stew Goat.

Well, 2020 has been the year to remember and we have created some new norms that will remain, probably forever. So many changes have been made when it comes to food. Whether it be no indoor dining or just a limited menu. Jamaican restaurants here in New York have not had many changes, if any. Most of them are naturally take-out only, which made social distancing much easier for them. However, they have the same selections every day!

Did the Pandemic affect the way you eat?

I run a catering company from home so the effect of the pandemic was not as traumatic for me as it was for actual standing restaurants. The flow of clients took a plunge but being home allowed more people to become aware of me.

How many people do you know who cooked their first meal during the pandemic? Haha!
I literally got bored of eating the same food over and over and again. That is when I began coming up with new ways to make the same foods. This is where my Jamaican Fried Dumplings (Stuffed with Cheese) and this Brown Stew Goat (not Curry Goat), comes into play.

My recent purchase of my instant pot has been inspiring a lot of dishes that I am excited to share in the upcoming months.

Some say curry goat, some say curried goat, but for the sake of this post, we will say curry goat.

Traditionally, curry goat meat is a delicacy in Jamaican Culture. Whenever there is a celebration or funeral, it is customary to kill a fresh goat. This fresh goat meat will eventually be on the plates of the attendees along with some white rice. Try this Instant Pot Coconut Rice Recipe!

Brown Stew Goat is pretty similar in taste to the Curry Goat but with a more subtle flavor. Normally, cooking goat meat in a regular pot would take up to 3 hours but with this Instant Pot Brown Stew Goat recipe, you will be done in less than one hour.
