Goat

[bryan]

Years ag in Texas some bars grilled goats out back on the weekends. Anyone her done these cooks? Would like to do one on Ralph.

Tried and true recipes?? Start live?? Sure went good with Lone Star.

I have some friends that did a cookbook a number of years ago.

Here is the sections on roasting goat.  YMMV

 

Roasting goat 

Both the forequarter and the hindquarter 

from a goat can be roasted although, as with 

mutton, the hindquarter is usually better. 

For a large forequarter, the meat may be 

boned out, stuffed and rolled. This is not 

practical with a small shoulder. We have 

included recipes for both boned and whole 

shoulders. A recipe for roast hind leg is also 

included along with roast whole goat — the 

Turkish feast. Cooking times are approximate 

only and should be slightly longer for older 

animals. 

 

Roast forequarter of goat 

I small forequarter of goat, with bone 

I tbsp dripping 

Paste 

I tsp coriander 

1/2 tsp nutmeg 

I clove garlic, crushed 

I tbsp oil 

I tsp honey 

salt and freshly-ground black pepper 

Rub the meat with the paste. Place in a roasting 

pan with dripping and cook for two hours or until 

tender at 160C (325F), basting occasionally. 

The pan-made gravy is delicious and the meal is 

best served with brown rice cooked and mixed 

with two tablespoons of toasted almonds and one 

tablespoon of currants. 

 

Rolled stuffed roast Of goat 

I forequarter of goat, boned 

Stuffing 

I omon, chopped 

I clove garlic, crushed 

25 g butter 

2 cups soft breadcrumbs 

I tsp ground cloves 

1/2 tsp coriander 

I tbsp raisins 

1/2 tsp nutmeg 

juice and grated rind Of one lemon 

salt and freshly-ground black pepper 

Cook the onion and garlic in butter, add the 

breadcrumbs and fry lightly. Add the spices, 

raisins, lemon juice, rind, salt and pepper. 

Spread this on the meat, roll up and secure 

with string or skewers. Rub the outside with oil if 

it is very lean and cook in a moderate oven 2 to 

2 h hours or until tender. 

 

Roast leg of goat 

Marinade 

1 1/2 cups Of green ginger wine 

2 cloves garlic 

2 tbsp Oil 

3 tbsp soy sauce 

salt and freshly-ground black pepper 

Mix the marinade and marinate the leg for twelve 

hours at room temperature. Remove from 

marinade and cook 3 - 31/2 hours at 160 C

(325 F) or until tender. Keep the meat covered 

until the last half hour and baste with a little of 

the marinade at intervals as this will prevent it 

from drying out. 

Use 1/2 cup of the marinade when making gravy. 

The flavour of this meal is best complemented 

by kumaras baked in their jackets, orange and 

green pepper salad, baby carrots and fresh green 

beans.

DaveyR Thanks for the recipes. Sounds like a good cookbook. Any other unsual cooks in it? is the Kumara a sweet potato?

Lots of unsual stuff.  The friends who wrote it were bush rangers back home.  Kumara is often called asian sweet potato or maybe red sweet potato.

 

Stuff in there for kangroo, wallaby, tar, boar, goats, deer etc....

 

it has been out of press for many years and it was a small printing but often good flavors

For sure an interesting keeper.

Love BBQ goat. Americans are one of the few places where goat isn't eaten much, same with lamb. Both are very tasty. Don't get it?

Outside of my grandpa's curry goat and my goat chops haven't done much goat although I plan to change that this year. A young kid goat would be idea for my first big cook on the KK this summer.

I love kid goat racks!   Unfortunately the USA falls way behind the rest of the world in consuming more goat meat than any other ... hence the lack of availability.

After eating a young goat rack the first time ... lamb racks were never the same again.

I was told I was crazy but I think goat is better than lamb and anyway you can make lamb, goat can be substituted! Lucky for me here in upstate NY there are a few goat producers and few online too.

I grill goats regularly on the KK.  Goat ribs, goat legs, shank, chops, etc.  I also get a really good variety of lamb called a dorper lamb - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorper.  Very close to goat in flavor.  Goat kebabs, ground goat or Lamb Kefta.  The KK has handled it all.  I also make goat tacos (cabrito).  Just delicious on the KK.

My Nan used to cook up goat heaps I think I grew out of it a bit like my old man used to put spuds and cabbage in the pressure cooker then make us drink the water lol

Down south, we call that "pot liquor." My Dad would dunk his cornbread in it and that's all he'd have for dinner sometimes, with a glass of buttermilk.

Sounds tasty, I do love lamb and goat is pretty good too.

My old man was a simple cook meat veggies but one thing I loved was ox tongue in the pc he used to cook that and slice it up with cold potatoes and salt and pepper on German rye bread for our school lunch .

Despite expectations, beef tongue is actually quite tender when cooked correctly.
