Cinnamon Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I went to the Henley Farmers market today & as I was buying my usual Goats Cheese I saw that they were taking orders for Goat Meat for the next market. I guess a goat somewhere is no longer pulling its weight I have expressed an interest, but have no idea how to cook it. I reckon either a nice stew/casserole like I have had overseas or maybe Curry Goat..........any ideas or recipes anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I did want some goat meat - but I can't remember what it was for now. I spent ages looking for Goats to buy for rearing as meat as well, all I can find are expensive milkers. I think it may have been Gordon Ramsay's programme that prompted it Sarah - I'll go and look. Edit : It was Janet Street Porter on the Gordon Ramsay programme. Channel4 have a forum for his programmes and here is where a couple of people chatted about goat. Posted 08-07-06 10:50 In this week's programme Janet slow roasted a goat. I've now got two goats on order but can't find the recipe anywhere. Any ideas anybody?

The turkey bag method is a good way to give your family a delicious, low fat roast without the fear of a dry meal. We especially like the crunchy exterior. Preheat oven to 425 degrees (F) Trim excess fat from roast, it can have an undesirable flavor Season the roast with meat tenderizer Spray the roast with olive oil Sprinkle on 1 T Rosemary leaves Slice and separate 1 large onion into rings Place 2 T flour in the bag and shake to coat bag Place onion rings in bottom of bag Place roast on onions and add 2 C water and 2 beef bullion cubes (I can't find goat bullion) Seal bag and place all in roasting pan Snip 2 or 3 slits in the top of the bag Roast 15 min. at 425 (F) Reduce to 300 (F) for 3 to 4 hours Pan juices may be used to make gravy, but don't expect much. There are plenty of recipes online like the one above.I just put goat recipes into google and a variety came up .Hope this helps.

I was concerned that meat may be dry without any fat but the steam in the bag should keep eveything moist. Posts: 2 Liz H New Member Posted 25-07-06 15:35 Hide Post Goat is very nice. If anyone in your family looks like they might baulk at the idea of goat, just tell them it's lamb. You might find a bit more if you Google Gordon Ramsey ( ) and check on some of the recipe links.

Snowy Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I remember Hugh FW did a curried goat not too long ago, might be worth checking the River Cottage website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Great, thanks everyone. Yes it was Hugh FW who did the curry goat - that was what I was trying to remember. If I do get some I shall report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I used to work with a woman from Kenya and she spoke very highly of goat meat....she used to really look forward to going back home so she could eat goat again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Here's a recipe that looks quite interesting. I'd be inclined to be cautious with the Scotch Bonnet's! GOAT CURRY INGREDIENTS : 1. 3 lb. goat meat, diced. 2. 3-4 tablespoon curry powder 3. 2 onions, 4.A handful of fresh Thyme 5. 6 cloves of garlic 6. 2 Whole Scotch Bonnet peppers 7. black pepper and salt 8. 2 Small carrots cut in slices (Optional) METHOD: 1. Wash & season with curry powder, thyme, garlic, black peppers & salt, onions 2. Refrigerate for a couple of hours to let flavours permeate. 3. Pour a little oil in pot and heat 4. Sear meat in batches so that it is nicely browned. 5. Add 1 pint water and seasoning 6. Add Carrots (Optional) 7. Cook until tender 8. Add whole scotch bonnet pepper for flavour and simmer for minutes 9. Make gravy by adding a teaspoon corn flour. 10. Serve with white rice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Here's a Caribbean site with a curried goat recipe: http://www.caribbeanfoodemporium.co.uk/currymutton.htm I have never tasted curried goat, but believe the taste of goat may be quite mature/gamey. A colleague of West Indian origin refuses her mothers attempts at cooking goat as she finds it too 'strong'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannie Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Mmmm. I love goat. I had ages ago in Greece. I'm sure they wrapped it up in paper and then baked it very slowly in its own juices. It was delicious! Lucky you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I remember J S-P talking about goat meat on The F-Word - she was incredibly enthusiastic about it, as it is very low in fat and very good for you. I've tried and failed for ages to find a local supplier, must go have another look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N&J Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Cinnamon - hopefully more goats will be coming to Henley - the manager of Starbucks (in Henley) is thinking of breeding goats on his parents farm........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Thanks for letting me know. They didn't bring any Goat to the farmers market this month, but can supply me with some frozen for next month Having Goats is one of the things we want to do when we eventually "live the dream" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
