Curried Goat and Sweet Potatoes Bahama Trip

It’s Spring Break–Travel the World with this savory Curried Goat!

Ever tried goat? If you enjoy lamb, you will more than likely love goat. I don’t know why it’s not more popular in this country, it certainly is a staple in other cultures around the world.

If Spring Break travels, for example, find you in the Bahamas, Caribbean, Greece or Africa, you will likely find goat to be a part of most menus. Check out this video from a web site which encouraged the following recipe. I don’t use the bones and switch sweet potatoes for the white potatoes and carrots. I’ll try “Tracy’s” version next time!

Besides the rich and meaty flavor, another attribute of goat it’s a very lean meat. As with most lean cuts of meat, a longer cooking time is required to render the meat tender. But the lean protein of goat combined with the super-charged nutritional value of sweet potatoes, makes this a wonderful recipe, indeed.
