  • Ain't no GOAT thread, so...

    Got pressed for time last night, so I rummaged around in the freezer for some smoked and pulled goat leg quarter. A little warmup, and it made a great quick meal! I thought I'd snap a quick pic before devouring these sammies. Goat is my favorite smoked meat, bar none. I raise it, and last night I ate it. And it was GOOOOOD!!!

      From what I hear, in some parts of the country, goat is a pretty profitable livestock. We sell quite a bit of goat feed at the feedmill where I work.

      But I aint never ate any. Yet...
      It seems like it would be a bit lean for smokin and pullin...

          Cabrito is a very popular meat to smoke/ bbq in these parts. Lots of cook-offs and such. The best is supposed to be just weeks old and never off mommas milk.

            The "veal" of the goat world eh? Never had goat in any form, that I know of.

                  This is not cabrito, which is really kids that have been pulled from their mamas and processed. I do mine at 6-8 months of age, when I get better yield and yet still have young, sweet meat with not a hint of gamey flavor.

                  Goat is best when slow cooked, though I do goat chops on the Weber or gasser all the time and they come out tender. The secret to that is the marinade!

                  On the smoker, goat quarters or hams or however you might get yours are simple to do, really just about like pork butts. The ribs work out about the same way as baby backs. You gotta be careful on cooking time on the ribs, or good with the foil, or both. They are easy to get overdone and dry. But done right, oh my gosh, they are good.

                  I coat my quarters well with el cheapo Italian dressing, then slather on brown suger right out of the bag. Sometimes I use black and cayenne papper if I am of a mood to have some heat to them. But usually, I like them sweet. Then on to the smoker. I'm personally limited on salt intake, but for someone who is not, a few passes with a shaker prior to smoking will satisfy that craving.

                  Here's some leg quarters and ribs on my smoker, just on the grate and ready to go. This has four hams, two on each end, and ribs in the middle. The ribs in front had been coated with Frank's Red Hot sauce, an experiment I did. Real simple. Real good.



                  Goat is much lower in fat and higher in Omega-3 oils than beef, especially if it is all grass-fed, as mine is. Goat is the most-eaten meat on the planet, and there's a reason -- it is good!

                    sarnies look good - meat looks a little leaner than pork.

                    never had goat - keep looking but no ethnic butchers round these parts.

                    But goat is the world's no1 eaten red meat (edit: lol you beat me to the post by about 2 seconds) . So it must have something going for it :-)
