Ok guys and gals, I need help on cooking some goat meat. I don't have a clue about where to start or how to do it. JC brought this back from the sweat and I need help cooking it! Can't say I was very excited about the meat in the first place, but I am willing to give it good try. :pray:
Thank you for any advice.
Kim
Here is a board full of recipes for you Miss Kim.

If I can get to it before she cooks it, I'm smoking it! I think you could smoke an old boot and make it edible ;)
Do it the Texas way...Bar B que it :bigsmyl:
Miss Kim, just saw a spring stew recipe on martha 03 07 they used lamb meat looked good try it with goat meat, might work, go to marthastewart.com and do search. Jonesy p.s. i dont watch it, i just love lamb meat!
Jc, take the goat meat put it in a crock pot for 12hrs with your preferred seasonings...careful now, dont overdo it. ok, now that youve wasted all day on the goat meat take it out of the crock pot and bring it to a neighbor or in-laws or whoever and then take that pretty lady out for diner!

Only way I have ever fixed goat is with a smoker. Dry rub with your favorite seasonings and drop it on the smoker for a few hours. Taste wonderful. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Never mind, I do better at eating :bigsmyl:
I had curried goat in Trinidad and Tobago. Had a nasty looking green sauce on it but tasted great, bit hot and spicy.
Kim -
However you cook that goat just be sure to make some of those fabulous cookies for after dinner. That way you can always throw out the goat and just eat the cookies . . . works for me.
Besides, Joe doesn't appear to have a problem with whatever you make, or however you make it . . . you go girl!!
If you like spicy food goat is very good in curries. Red curries in particular.
Also mexican recipes like chili colorado or chili verde will work with goat. Long time cooking with low tempurature, about 225 and wet cooking techniques. Heres is a crockpot recipe.
In a cast iron skillet,Brown the meat. cut into about one inch cubes seasoned with salt and pepper. Then add chopped onions sweat the onions when they are translucent add minced garlic and chopped fresh rosemary leaves, cilantro and as much fresh chopped serrano chilis as you like. Sweat that for a minute or two and add either chopped can tomatoes or for or five chopped fresh tomatoes. Pour everything along with two bottles of your favorite beer or red wine and a cup of vegatable stock, into the crockpot on low and cook for a few hours. The vegetable prep, browning,etc will take you about half an hour. you can do that before work and come home to a nice supper. Serve over rice.
I can give you somemore recipes if you'd like.
You know, it wasnt' until I got home from Texas until I even HEARD about those cookies! They were obviously very closly guarded, and everyone in camp knew better than to let me have a taste. All I ever saw for cookies were bag upon bag of Oreos!
From what I've heard of you cooking Miss Kim, I'm sure that old goat will turn out just fine!
Miss Kim,
A can of mushroom soup and some hot sauce should do it! JC says this makes groundhog taste good so it's gotta make goat taste fantastic. Good luck.
just roast it real slow for 2 maybe 3 hrs oh boy can i come and eat at your place jc? :thumbsup: :campfire: roast veg as well it cant get any better than that. oh hang on yes it can try this good old kiwi hangi put chop the meat into serving size portions dust the meat and vegetables with salt and pepper place meat in the bottom of large roasting dish heap vegetables on top then spread wartercress on top of that if no wartercress then silverbeet. then add 3 cups of water cover heaped dish with foil mould foil around the lip of dish so that it is a sealed unit make sure you dont tear the foil. for extra sealing tie up foil with string around the dish lip. place in oven and cook for 3 hours at 160c serve on table from dish just remove foil and dig in YUMMMMMMMMMM!!!! :campfire:
Goat is good eatin.
Goat or Lamb... all the same to me. Cook it like ya would lamb chop or better yet Leg of lamb.MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM<><
Do not know if angora is fit to eat or not. I killed many a "Spanish goat" out there in West Texas and they barbque very nicely. I love goat. But like I said, not sure on the angora.
Danny
You can grill most any thing with enough bar-b-que sauce and make it edible. Have plenty of slaw just in case.RC
Thanks guys. I knew I could count on you for some help. I can USUALLY cook about anything....but I tell ya, the idea of cooking goat is just a little more than I really wanted to figure out.
Thanks for the ideas and for all the sweet bragging on the cookies and buffalo burgers. My cookies usually look more like frisbees...a big joke with JC. When I told him I was making cookies to send to the sweat, well he wasn't too excited. They did turn out pretty good and I forced them in his bag.
Next year I will make more...... :D
Thanks again and I will let you know how this turns out.....
Kim
The traditoinal way around here is to cook it in a pit. Dig a hole deep enough to build a fire and burn down to the coals. This will take a good quantity of wood since it takes all night to cook. When you have a really nice bed of coals, wrap the goat in a wet sack with all the seasoning, vegetables, whatever you want with the goat. Put it on the coals and cover the hole back up. Uncover the next day and the meat is as tender as you could want.... John
that sounds like a hangi bro but we put hot rocks in the ground then put the food in metal wire baskets and cover with wet sacks and then earth but it only has to cook for 3 hours it is the most yum yum food this side of the black stump. :thumbsup: and like i was saying you can do it in the oven if you dont want to get your hands all yuk. :campfire:
Put on your favorite rub [I like KC masterpiece] Smoke it at 200-225 degrees for 1 1/2 hours, take it up and wrap it in aluminum foil with your favorite BBQ sauce and put back on at the same temp. for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.When you unwrap it be ready to eat. It will be tender and juicey.
It's on the smoker as I type. Our pastor asked JC to bring it for our Passover supper today. I will let you know how it goes over....they also have leg of lamb as well. If no one will eat it, we may be having an open house to eat smoked goat!
I will let you guys know how it goes....thanks for the advise. Those really do sound great.
Kim
You cann't beat BBQ cabrito. 1/2 a goat on the grill with sauce cooked SLOW. MMMMMMMM GOOD.
You can also roast it in a slow cooker with a can of cream of mushroom soup. It is great that way too.
Well, I think it went over pretty well. We came home with about a small sandwich bag left. It had a wonderful smokey flavor and great taste. It was just a little chewy. JC said she was an old nanny so that may have made a difference. Anyway, we ended up chopping it up and those that liked it went back for seconds and thirds. I would say that was a hit!
Thanks so much.
Kim
It did actually get quite a few positive comments. We had so much food I was tempted to hide it under the table...but I picked out a young man known for his iron stomach and ravenous appetite and made him eat a forkful before we started the service. His eyes lit up and said "I don't care what that is, I'll eat a plate full!"
Then, much to my surprise, quite a few ol' ladies had their share....and said it was actually good...chewy, but good.
Don't throw that stuff yer killin out fellers, buy ya a smoker and you can eat about anything!
And Don, don't tell them Texas Sweat boys yer mushroom soup/croc pot recipe...they pulled my leg the whole trip cause I rattled off about 12 critters I'd cooked like that! :goldtooth:
Danny, angora cooks up just fine. My dad used to raise them. We would clamp a billy when it was small then keep him fed real good. Think of all that hair as a protective coating for good eating.
Jamaican jerk style with rice or vegs.
If you like stew with curry, the West indians have a great goat curry stew, the exact recipe changes depending on which island you prefer but My favorite was the Dominican style.
Give it a try if you dont like the taste of roast goat.
Last time I had goat I also just chopped it up into chop sized chunks breaded it and fried it in the pan.
pretty nummy.
Dry rub and slow moist cooking should do the trick.
