Recipe of the day
Savory Goat Stew
Ingredients:
■4 1/2 pounds goat stew meat
 |
| Food Mall: Goat |
■1 teaspoon salt
■1/2 teaspoon black pepper■2 teaspoons coriander
■1 teaspoon cinnamon
■1 onion, sliced
■3 carrots, sliced
■3 garlic cloves, chopped
■1 cup dry white wine
■2 cups chicken or beef stock
■2 bay leaves
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Season meat with salt, pepper, coriander and cinnamon. In a large Dutch oven or deep oven proof pot, warm several tablespoons of oil or butter. Sear meat in batches, browning all sides of the meat. Set the meat aside.
Add a little more oil to the pot, then the onion, carrot and garlic. Saute several minutes then add wine, stock and bay leaves. Scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer and add meat back to the pot.
Transfer the pot to the oven. Cook covered for 1 hour then tilt the lid slightly so it’s not completely tight and cook at least 1 1/2 hours more until meat is tender.
If there is excess oil on top of the broth, it can be skimmed off if desired. Remove the meat from the pot and cut it off the bones, then return it to the pot.
Serve with a garnish of fresh mint or parsley and a side of cooked vegetables that will soak up the liquid, such as mashed cauliflower or parsnips.
