  2. Add 1 tablespoon curry powder, chopped onion, escallion, garlic, ginger, thyme, scotch bonnet pepper, black pepper and salt; rub the seasonings into the meat, cover and put to marinate for two hours.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy bottom skillet over medium heat and add the remaining one tablespoon curry powder.  Add the marinated meat and allow to sear.  Turn the meat and add 4 cups boiling water.  Cover and allow to simmer for about 1 hour 20 minutes or until the meat is tender.
  4. Add the diced potato and cook for 5 minutes.  Fold in the sliced carrot and pimento berries and cook for five minutes.

    To serve:  Serve with Plain Rice, Vegetable Salad and Mango Chutney.
