Do you eat goat? What?? People do that?
Yes, we eat goat. Yes we eat our goats. And yes, its tasty. Goat meat is the most widely consumed meat worldwide, just not in the US which is why it is met with such disbelief.
Goat meat is quite healthy compared to other commonly eaten meats, just a little more exotic. Due to its low fat content, it has to be cooked low and slow, depending on the preparation.
Slow roasting or smoking a whole leg is fantastic. We substitute ground goat in burgers, meatloafs, sloppy joes, any of the old standbys.
One of my personal favorites is to simply quick-grill chops with salt and pepper and once they come off the grill douse them with really good spicy olive oil and chopped fresh herbs. The chops are quite small though, so we usually cook about 20!
My go-to goat cookbook is this:
Every recipe is perfectly seasoned and balanced and the curries are phenomenal. My favorite is braised goat meatballs with fennel and artichokes, served with creamy parmesan polenta. Here is a link to the recipe: http://www.pbs.org/food/recipes/braised-goat-meatballs-with-artichokes-and-fennel/
And now I'm hungry. . .
