Questions about Goat
How do you cook goat so it turns tender?
For shoulder or other tougher cuts, brown the pieces, then braise them gently in a covered pot with stock or tomatoes at about 150°C for 2½–3 hours, until they pull apart easily. Keep the liquid at a gentle simmer rather than a rolling boil.
Can you grill goat?
Yes. Goat chops are good grilled: rub them with oil, garlic and herbs, then cook over a hot barbecue or grill for a few minutes on each side, turning once. Rest them for a few minutes before serving.
What dishes can you make with goat?
Goat works well in a slow-cooked curry with onion, spices and tomatoes, served with rice or flatbread. You can also use diced goat in a tagine-style stew with chickpeas and dried fruit.
How should you store fresh goat?
Keep fresh goat covered on the bottom shelf of the fridge and cook it within a couple of days. Freeze it in airtight portions; thaw it in the fridge rather than on the worktop.
Is goat safe to eat pink?
Whole cuts can be served pink if the centre reaches 63°C and rests for at least 3 minutes. Cook minced goat thoroughly to 71°C, as mincing can spread bacteria through the meat.
Is goat the same as kid?
Kid is meat from a young goat; goat meat can also come from older animals. Kid is often milder and more tender, while meat from an older goat usually benefits from slow cooking.
How much protein is in a serving of goat?
An 85 g cooked portion provides 23 g of protein. Goat is also high in zinc.
