Jamaican Curried Goat

3 pounds goat meat, cubed
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Scotch bonnet pepper, seeded and minced
4 sprigs thyme
6 tablespoons Jamaican curry powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 whole allspice
salt and pepper
water and vinegar

1. Wash goat meat with 2:1 water and vinegar solution. Pat dry.
2. Combine onion, garlic, Scotch bonnet pepper, thyme and all but 1 tablespoon of the curry powder.
3. Place goat in a large bowl, rub with the seasoning, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
4. Heat oil in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining curry powder to the oil.
5. Remove goat and brush off any excess seasoning or onions, saving for later. Brown the goat meat in batches in the hot oil.
6. Add enough water just to cover the meat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and add the onion and seasoning and allspice. Simmer covered until meat is tender, about an hour.
7. If the sauce is watery, add potatoes to thicken. Serve with pita bread.
