Chivo Goat Leg Tacos

cowgirl · Feb 18, 2013

A friend of mine who is a farrier, also raises boer goats. He gave me some of the meat awhile back and I finally dug them out of my freezer and cooked them on the drum.

I made a marinade using
Garlic powder, paprika, pepper, rosemary, thyme..
also A1, worcestershire sauce, bufalo chipotle and water.

I coated the legs with the dry ingredients, then placed in a baggie and poured the liquid on top. Chilled in the fridge overnight.

placed in the BPS drum (with the marinade) at 275F with a kiss of mesquite.

made a batch of refried beans..

parboiled some yuca root and fried the cubes in butter...

after 2 hours I added beef stock, foiled the meat until tender...

it was fall off the bone tender...

the meat was soooo tasty!!

I made tacos that night...

then made goat meat huevos rancheros the next day...

and last night I made goat meat nachos for supper..

I have some of the meat left over, not sure what I will make next.

Really loved this. My favorite goat recipe is underground goat but this was just as good. Will make it again.

Thanks for looking!

Looks good. We have a place here in Austin called Texican cafe that has some fall off the bone tender cabrito. It seems to be steamed... really good, but doesn't have any smoke

still, tons better than the Cabrito I have had in Mexico that is usually tougher since it's usually cooked over an open flame

Thank you Bob! I like yuca, kind of like a potato but has a sweetness to it too.

Thanks garzanuim! I like it steamed a bit too. The friend who raises the goats likes to fry strips in oil with peppers and onions and just eat it in a hot tortilla kind of like this... http://cowgirlscountry.blogspot.com/2011/06/pulled-pork-fajitas-on-my-fancy-outdoor.html
It's good beer drinking food. :grin:

Thank you Tony! Didn't need any with the goat meat drippings...and I tried something different with the nachos. Sprinkled them with smoked cheese, then a good bit of Slap Yo Daddy Chicken rub, minced scallions...then a squeeze of fresh lime juice. I loved it! :grin:

Holy moly Jeanie, that looks awesome. I'm glad to hear you still have some leftover. I'll be over as fast as I can. :-D

Cowgirl, you are inspiring to say the least. I'd give anything to have goat to try, I've never had it before and I am obsessed with trying new things. Is it close in flavor to lamb or mutton? I love my meats gamey if they can be so I'm hoping goat is (then again I'm not because I'll be even more hard pressed to find some to try)!!!

Jeanie - you are a national treasure!

I've been wanting to cook goat - love the looks of that right there! :clap2:
