Goat recipes...

[Bill]

Anyone got a recipe they'd recommend?? Got some goat from a neighbour and I'm getting overwhelmed by options on the web!

I made this one for Christmas a few years ago https://originalflava.com/meals/jamaican-curry-goa...

It was very nice, from memory I spiced it up a bit with extra scotch bonnet. Downside was the lingering smell (from the curry) in the kithen

That looks great, ta!

Curry goat is one of the best things ever. There will also be lots of Middle Eastern Pakistani and Indian dishes which use it. Whichever you choose, remember that the meat will need cooking for a long time at a low temperature to be really succulent!

Yeah, a lot of the African recipes I found suggested boiling for 40 minutes before browning and knocking up a sauce in 15. Which seems like a recipe for chewing!

Had curry goat late last night, don't ask, and having it again tonight.

Got to be on the bones, I prefer rice and peas to the traditional white rice.

Bears Irish stew hands down, from a plastic paddy lol.

I've spent a lot of my life among Jamaican and West African people and have been given goat many times but I always find it a bit disappointing. Maybe because the animal doesn't have that much meat on it compared with sheep/cows/pigs, goat always comes in these random chunks that you think are full of meat but turn out to be mainly bone or fat. I guess I'm the philistine but I don't really get the attraction.

What you mean is the animal has been commercially and quickly fattened for meat, and the meat pumped with whatever lol.

Its about the cooking and seasoning, the taste, cooked on the bone, sucking the marrow out of those bones. Just ask for a bigger portion lol.

Too late for you this time, but if you ever get a whole leg of goat I've done this on the BBQ a few times:

It (well, he, Gary...) was way too old for BBQ!
