How to cook goat

[whert]

Help me out fellow goat hunters.

What's the best bit and how do you cook it

(Have to admit I cheated today and bought a leg instead of going shooting )

[Apollo]

Very slow, low heat over several hours in the oven. Have had many a "Kid" and first time eaters have been absolutely amazed how sweet, tender, juicy it is.

[Fozzy]

Jamaican style Curry!

Or camp oven leg roast.

The end.

Heres a good goat recipe my Grandfather gave me many years ago.

Take a small smooth stone from a creek, place it in the billy and bring to the boil with one litre of water.

Take a good portion of goat meat and place it in the boiling billy, season to taste.

When the meat has been well cooked and starts to break down, tip the contents of the billy out and eat the stone.

Did my first Jamaican curry goat a few weeks ago actually.

Did a whole leg, slow cooked in the oven for about 5 hours.

Reeeeal good.

Slow cooked, however you do it.

Roast, in a casserole etc.

Tough as nails if you just bang a bit on the grill for 2 minutes like it was fillet steak. Once it's broken down after a few hours though it's top notch.

Did you know that Goat meat is the most highly consumed meat on the planet.

Like most meats, the older it is, the tougher it is.

One of the best Mexican ways is to get the meat off a Kid and cut it into long strips, cook it on a hot pan with oil, make a salsa of onion, Jalapeno pepper and tomato and wrap it in a tortilla that's been cooked over coals. Sensational.

And growing I think.

I've read a number of farmers are switching from breeding sheep for wool to goat because it's easier/faster/more profitable to sell them for the meat alone instead of wool and meat with a sheep.

Goats are hard to handle. In fact they are buggers of things in big numbers. Handling facilities and fences need to be top notch to contain and work with goats. Switching from Sheep to Goats may be the case with some smaller hobbyist type graziers however most of us still stick with the mainstream of Lamb and Wool production or Beef.

Sheep are still profitable here in Australia if you are on your game. Price per kg on farm for lamb is far ahead of goat at the moment. Further, if you have a wool clip to add much the better. Wool has had a rocky road over the past 20 years or so since the early 90's crash. But....it's coming back...I hope. GET REAL! GET WOOL. If you want a great product and help the Aussie economy, buy wool, not some crap made out of melted down coke bottles.

I did say most consumed on the planet. Not here is AUS. We mostly eat Chicken, followed by Beef then Lamb then Pork.

Could be. I saw this on a farming program a while ago and in the show it was guys with small herds. Not thousands of them or anything.

Slow and low is the way to go! I like goat more than lamb if it's cooked right, most couldn't tell the diff other than the fact it has more flavour.

[MeccaOz]

Give it to the missus .... yes I did just get slapped for that !

[Hennie Dreyer]

I do not like goat.......bottom line

You must be cooking it wrong

Kidding. What are the local hunter favourites there in South Africa?

In the central western district of NSW goats are fast becoming a commodity. I used to work for RMWiliams before I retired and the big places that had goats on them used the goats to get through a big drought. They just put out portable yards with traps on the gates, put some grain, fodder of some sort and water in there. The goats would go in and as the gate was one way they couldn't get back out and the yards would hold them. Then all you had to do was back a truck up and load the goats. Shooting a goat out there nearly became a hanging offence. Australia is one of the worlds largest goat meat exporters.

Funny how it goes. I have friends with a property in NSW who can't shoot the buggers fast enough.

They're over running their place they tell me.

Yep the local butchers apprentice has the same problem with deer and goats - bloody everywhere, he just shoots 'em for Dog Tucker as far as I'm aware.

That's a "problem" I'd like to have.
