Questions

What should Curried Goat look like when it is ready?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 6: cook until meat is tender.

Is there a substitute for Scotch bonnet in Curried Goat?

The entry for Curried Goat calls for 1 scotch bonnet pepper (optional). In its place: Habanero has the same heat and a similar fruitiness. For much less heat, use a jalapeno and a strip of orange bell pepper.

How hot is Curried Goat?

Yes, it is properly hot. The heat in Curried Goat comes from 1 scotch bonnet pepper (optional). For a milder plate, remove the seeds and ribs from the scotch bonnet, or use half; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.
