A recipe that has it all, spice, sharpness, and smoke with the freshness from herbs
James Whetlor from Cabrito Goat Meat began selling goat meat, sourced from British dairy farms to London restaurants in 2012. To reflect the increasing demand and appetite from diners he developed a range of products, making kid meat widely available. James also felt he could do something about the ridiculous waste of the male billy goats from the dairy industry, an ‘ethical car-crash’. Although not organic we share the same philosophy as James and this is why we are excited to be working with Cabrito to provide you with ethical and sustainable meat.

WHO ARE THE ORGANIC BUTCHERY?
Starting life as an organic farm in the heart of the West Country, The Organic Butchery is proudly founded on a long history of organic principles. We source the best quality organic grass-fed and wild meats, sustainable fish and organic free-range poultry from trusted local suppliers and like-minded brands to guarantee the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Our mission is to approach butchery with a whole-carcass perspective, to make the most of every animal that crosses our blocks, which means we offer you cuts that you will never see on the supermarket shelves.
WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE GOAT?
Goat really complements our philosophy of sustainable farming. It yields truly remarkable meat that would otherwise get wasted. Whilst female (nanny) goats are reared for replacements in a goat dairy herd, male (billy) goats are surplus to requirements.
Ingredients
- 1x boned leg of kid
- pink himalayan salt
- pepper
For The Marinade
- juice of half a lemon
- 2x tsp of harissa paste
- 2x tsp of olive oil
- 3x crushed garlic cloves
- 3x bay leaves
For The Preserved Lemon Dressing
- 3x preserved lemons (rind only)
- 4x tsp of olive oil
- juice of half a lemon
- 4 tsp of finely chopped coriander and/or parsley
Method
- Mix the marinade ingredients together in a wide dish, add the Leg of Kid and turn to coat both sides, season with the salt and pepper, cover the dish and place in the fridge overnight so the flavours infuse with the meat. when you are ready to cook your marinaded leg of kid pop the preserved lemon rind, oil, and lemon juice into a blender and blitz into a coarse paste then stir through the chopped herbs. This is a great recipe for the BBQ or in the Oven, we love ours to be nicely pink or you can leave longer for more well-done meat, remove from the BBQ or oven and coat with the preserved lemon dressing. Cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to serve on a crispy salad with a slice of warm herby naan bread.
