Goat meat, tasty and incredibly nutritious, is not such a frequent guest on our tables. It is usually prepared in families that breed these animals. Or in those houses whose owner is a hunter. As a rule, goat meat can only be purchased at the market, and even then not always. As for stores, it does not appear on the shelves of ordinary supermarkets at all. Most likely, it is precisely because of the inaccessibility of our housewives that their goat meat dishes are not popular. In addition, there is an opinion that this meat has a specific smell and turns out tough, no matter how it is cooked. It is worth noting that all these are nothing more than myths. If you follow the algorithm of actions that recipes offer for preparing any goat meat dish, and also approach the choice of meat wisely, then the result can be an exquisite dish with a great taste. Moreover, it is also extremely useful.
So, how to cook goat meat?
Rules for selection and storage
Goat meat is considered a dietary product. True, this applies to a greater extent to the meat of young animals. In older people it is covered with yellow fatty layers, in addition, it is much darker in color. By the way, it is knowledge of this nuance that largely contributes to the right choice. In addition, the notorious specific smell is inherent specifically in the skin of the animal, therefore, if you purchase meat without it, you will not feel any additional aromas. But you should definitely pay attention to the absence of other odors and mucus, which are inherent in any stale product of this kind.
According to culinary specialists, fresh goat meat retains all its beneficial properties (of which, by the way, there are many) for three days. Therefore, if you purchased a not very large piece and only enough for a few dishes, then first of all separate the meat from the bone. This way it will last longer. If there is a lot of product, then it is best to put the excess in the freezer immediately after cutting.
Cooking features
Falling under the influence of the same myth about the “goat” smell, many people marinate this meat before preparing almost any dish. This is not entirely correct. Good meat from young domestic goats, and even without skin, should be subjected to this procedure only if the recipe requires it. Another thing is forest individuals. Their meat is really tough, and it smells a little even after careful cutting. It is for this reason that when preparing any dish from wild goat meat, recipes, almost all of them, include a clause that indicates the need for marinating.
As for the marinade itself, it can be different, but most often dry wine is used (preferably white), as well as fruit vinegar - grape, apple. In all other respects, the preparation of this meat is no different from other types. The only thing is that sometimes the temperature treatment time just needs to be increased slightly to make it softer.
Well, then let’s move on directly to talking about how and what delicious goat dishes can be prepared.
