Begin by cutting the goat meat into 1-inch cubes. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Peel and finely chop the onion, garlic cloves, and ginger. Set aside.
Slice the scotch bonnet pepper in half and remove the seeds if you want to reduce the heat. Chop finely.
In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the goat meat in batches to brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and scotch bonnet pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the curry powder and ground allspice, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Return the browned goat meat to the pot. Add the thyme sprigs, canned coconut milk, salt, pepper, and water. Stir to combine.
Bring to a simmer. Cover the pot tightly, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook gently for 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the goat is cooking, peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Cut the bell pepper into strips.
After the initial cooking time, add the carrots, potatoes, and bell pepper to the pot. Mix well. Continue to simmer for another 30 minutes or until the vegetables and meat are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the thyme sprigs before serving. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
