This is a lovely recipe. Using fresh tomato, rather than paste or canned, is something I don’t do often enough

Method & Ingredients

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

  • 600g-800g diced goat meat
  • 2 dried ancho or pasilla chillies, stemmed and deseeded
  • 1–2 chipotle chillies (or use chipotle paste or adobo), stem and seeds removed
  • 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 1 tomato, halved
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil juice of 1⁄2 small orange
  • juice of 1 small lime

Method

  1. Dry-fry all the whole chillies in a moderately hot pan for about 30 seconds until just browned and aromatic. Transfer to a bowl, cover with boiling water and set aside for about 10 minutes
  2. Add the garlic cloves and the tomato halves, skin side down, to the dry pan and char for 5 minutes. Remove and, when cool enough to handle, peel the garlic and tomato halves
  3. Drain the chillies and add to a small food processor with the charred tomato and garlic, spices and salt, and blend to a smooth paste
  4. Fry the paste in the oil for 10 minutes until very thick, then leave to cool a little and add the citrus juices. Allow to cool then mix with the meat and leave to marinate for at least an hour. Anything up to 24 hours (in the fridge) is fine – the meat will just take on more flavour
  5. Thread the marinated meat onto skewers (you will be able to make 8) and season with salt and pepper
  6. Cook over a hot barbecue, under a grill or in a griddle pan for about 3–4 minutes on each side – you want them to be just cooked through and still juicy on the inside, although they can be cooked as pink as you like. *Use 1 tbsp oil (if frying, not grilling or cooking on the BBQ)
  7. Enjoy!

Frequently asked questions

  • Yes, goat meat is available to buy online on our website and Coombe Farm Organic can delivery any cuts that you need to your door.

  • Goat Kid meat is tender with a mild-flavour, sweeter than Lamb. As the animal gets older the meat gets a slightly stronger taste, this is why goat meat marry’s well with bold flavours in recipes such as curry’s and marinades.

  • Cabrito was founded by James Whetlor, once a chef at Hugh Furnley Whittingstall’s River Cottage James wanted to explore the meat wastage from the Goat Milking industry. An ethical thought leader and innovator James travels Europe sharing his knowledge of everything Goat. Cabrito is the platform to supply goat meat for wholesale and retail.
