Washing Up
After years of always wanting to try it, I finally did. At a recent visit to the organic/free-range meat farm around the corner from us, I bought a couple of goat "chops". I've always liked lamb, & have always read that young goat tastes much the same. That advice is completely wrong - goat is BETTER!!! (Lord, that sounds odd somehow. . . .).
Anyway, I cut the chops into bite-size pieces & browned them in some extra-virgin olive oil along with one red-bulb scallion & 2 large cloves of chopped garlic. At the same time, I boiled up a bunch of tiny fingerling potatoes. Once the goat pieces were browned, I added a cup of water, 1/2 a tablespoon of cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons of Penzey's Hot Curry Powder, & the sliced cooked potatoes. Let everything simmer for a bit & then poured it into a bowl to enjoy.
It was not only hot as **** - which I love - but absolutely delicious. While the texture of the goat meat was definitely akin to lamb, it didn't taste like lamb at all. More like veal.
Anyway, for you carnivores out there - if you come across well-raised goat/kid, don't hesitate.
