Re: Jamaican Beef Patties
Yahoo! Thanks for this one, we'll give it a try. Since my wife and I left Ontario, we have not had a patty. We used to by them by the box at any grocery. Manitobans don't know what they're missing! Thanks again. Now, I am going to keep searching for a roti recipe.
A goat roti is one of my favorites.

Re: Caribbean Cuisine
Curry Goat
* 3 pounds / 1.5 kg goat, cut into 1-inch / 2.5-cm cubes
* 1 lime
* 1 large onion, sliced
* 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped (about 3 tablespoons / 45 mL)
* 2 teaspoons / 10 mL salt
* 1 teaspoon / 5 mL black pepper
* 1 teaspoon / 5 mL thyme leaves
* ¼ teaspoon / 1 mL finely chopped Scotch bonnet pepper
* 2 tablespoons / 25 mL canola or vegetable oil
* 1 teaspoon / 5 mL sugar
* 5 green onions, chopped (about 1 cup / 250 mL)
* 2 teaspoons / 10 mL curry powder
* 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch / 1-cm cubes
Method:
Squeeze the lime juice over the goat; let it sit for a couple of minutes and then rinse with cold water. Drain off excess water. Place the goat in a sealable container and add the onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, thyme, and Scotch bonnet pepper. Wearing rubber gloves, rub the spices into the goat with your hands. Marinate, covered and refrigerated, for 1 to 2 hours.
In a large pot over medium heat, heat the oil and sugar, stirring until the sugar is brown. Add the goat with marinade, green onions, and curry; stir thoroughly. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer the goat slowly in its own juices, stirring occasionally, until the goat is nearly tender, about 30 minutes. If the meat is tough, pour ¼ cup / 60 mL of water at a time down the sides of the pot, not directly onto the goat (or you will toughen the meat).
Add the potatoes and ¼ cup / 60 mL water; stir thoroughly. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked but not too soft. Crush some of the potatoes to thicken the sauce, if desired. If there is not enough sauce, add ¼ cup / 60 mL water and simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve with rice or roti and a salad.

Re: Caribbean Cuisine
1.5 pounds goat or mutton, trimmed and cut into 1" cubes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 ounce lard or other cooking fat 1 onion, sliced
1/2 pint (1.25 cups) stock or water
2 chillies, de-seeded and chopped
2 large english (white) potatoes, peeled and diced
Method
* Season the meat with salt, pepper and curry powder, sifted together and rubbed into the cubes. Set aside for 1 hour.
* Heat the lard or fat in a saucepan, add the meat and onion and brown lightly. Add the stock or water and chillies, cover and simmer over a low heat until the meat is tender; the timing varies with the meat. Mutton, which is more often used for "curried goat", takes less time than goat.
* Add the potatoes and continue cooking for another 20 minutes or until they are soft and the gravy thickens.
