Does Anyone Know A Good Goat Recipe?

[kelliecalgary 18]

I have heard great things about goat. I have heard that it is leaner than chicken and turkey and great for Protein.< /p>

Does anyone know how to cook it? Any good recipes?

Goat is very good, especially if you're able to get it from the farm. Goat dairies often sell their extra billies at around six months. Goat is lean, not marbled, and easy to digest. It is not necessarily a tender meat, and is best in sausages or used in place of ground beef.

We use goat meat (and have for years) instead of beef, in all recipes that call for ground beef. You have to treat it carefully though, because it doesn't have the fat. I brown it in a non-stick frypan, and use a little Water to keep it from sticking until it's brown. Then I proceeded just like I would with ground beef.

My sister and her husband owned a goat dairy near Camrose, AB, and we got goat sausages every fall. In order to make them edible (no fat problem) they added 1lb of ground pork to every 9lbs ground goat. We eschewed the pork and added ground moose, elk, or buffalo. Totally YUM.

P.S. Here in the Middle East, goat is readily available, but it's from adult animals. Gross. Gross. Gross.

Does she have an online store or anything where she can ship to Calgary? I have had a hard time finding it at any butchers here in Calgary.

Let me know, I am really interested in trying it!

You need to look up Jamaican, west indian or maybe middle eastern recipes for goat, it could be too spicy for you not sure on your palate when my best friend makes it or I used to get it from the west indian take away it has a kick I can handle but you can go easy on some of the ingredients if your not too keen on food with a kick when your making it yourself.

thanks now i wish i could have some ox tail or brown chicken or maybe a little curried goat lol

Unfortunately not. She and her husband now have a ranch in Northern BC bigger than most European countries. You could try http://alberta.kijiji.ca/f-meat-goats-Classifieds-W0QQKeywordZmeatQ20goats

This is where my sister now gets her goat meat.
