Making Roasted Goat Meat
- Question How do I cook shoulder of goat?
Community Answer Cook goat just like lamb. However, please ask your butcher to provide you with young goat meat (called a kid). Casserole/curry sized pieces with bone are best. Marinate the meat in your preferred spicing (preferably overnight). Always bring your meat up to room temp before cooking it slow and steady. Oven temps about 160 – 180 degrees C electric (take it down about 10 degrees C for gas). Cooking a shoulder, bone-in, in the oven is nice, but cook it slow and cover with aluminium foil or oven bag during this time. Note: goat has less fat than lamb, so keep it moist! - Question Which cultures eat goat meat?

Finally, I will add that a tender cut of goat meat should be used for this recipe. Should you have the stewing cut, you may simmer it on gentle heat until tender then fry. If simmering, simmer together with the garlic, salt, paprika and lemon juice.
For the latter issue, this can be avoided by getting the meat properly cut up at a butchery. In the homestead or backyard setting, people tend to smash the goat carcass into chunks using axes, this is the issue. For the former, the lemon and garlic I have used in this recipe is not only designed to add flavour to the meat but to also mask the undesired “fragrance”.
Which ever category you may fall in, here is a method I hope will produce something to enjoy despite the different issues folks have with goat. As the name hints, it’s quite simple and takes very little effort. Trust the the process…this stuff tastes as good as it looks.

It is well known that when it comes to goat meat it’s a mixed bag. People like it, dislike it and are indifferent about it! There are reasons for this. For some people it’s about the guff that goat meat produces when it’s being prepared. Yet for others its about grit-like bone fragments that embed in the otherwise good meat.
