Slow Cooker Goat Tikka Masala

Directions

1. If using a leg of goat or goat roast, cut to 1-2 inch cubes. The recipe will take longer to cook if it’s not cut up.

2. Mix garam masala, cumin, turmeric, smoked paprika, sea salt, pepper and cayenne pepper (if desired for more heat). Rub the mix on the goat meat. Any remaining seasoning can be put into the slow cooker.

3. Heat the butter in a pan over medium heat. Sear most of the sides of the goat meat in the pan. As meat finishes, place pieces into the slow cooker. Depending on how much meat is used and the size of your pan, you may need to cook in two batches. 

4. Once the goat meat is seared, place the onion and garlic in the same pan. Cook until translucent and the ends are slightly brown.

5. Add ¼ cup of water in the pan with the onions. Scrape the pan to loosen any remaining seasoning or meat. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker. 

6. In the slow cooker, add the ginger and tomato sauce. Stir until well mixed.

7. Cook on low for 6-7 hours. More time may be needed for larger cuts of meat (up to 8 hours). If possible, stir 1-2 times during the cooking time. Cook until tender and the meat easily shreds with a fork. 

8. If your cuts of meat had bones, take out the bones as you separate any meat from the bones. 

9. Add the coconut cream. Use more cream for a mellower, less spicy flavor.

10. Serve over rice with a side of naan.
