Lamb & Goat: Stove Top
Jamaican Curried Goat
---------------------
5 to 6 pounds goat meat, cut into 1-inch cubes (or lamb)
6 scallions, very coarsely chopped
3 large onions, chopped
3 Scotch bonnet peppers, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon ground pimento (allspice)
About 1 tablespoon salt, to taste
2 tablespoons freshly ground
black pepper
About 6 tablespoons Jamaican Curry Powder , to taste
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 garlic cloves
4 cups water or chicken stock
1 cup coconut milk
Juice of 2 limes
Using your hands, mix the goat meat, scallions, half the onions, 1 to 3
peppers, allspice, salt, black pepper, and about 4 tablespoons Jamaican
curry powder. Rub the goat well with the mixture. Now, as they say on the
island, "You mus' put he down overnight"- which means let the meat marinate
overnight in the refrigerator.
The next day, heat the coconut oil. Add 2 tablespoons curry powder, and mix
well. Add the garlic and the remaining onions, and brown them. Add the
seasoned goat to the mixture. Mix well. Add the water or stock, the coconut
milk, and the lime juice. Cover the pot, and let the meat simmer for 2 to 3
hours, until the meat is tender. Add a little more water if needed. Serve
the stew hot. Serves 8
Note: Three Scotch bonnet peppers make this a really hot dish; you may wish
to cut back to one or two peppers. Often carrots are added about 20 minutes
before the curry goat is finished.

Thai-Style Lamb Curry
---------------------
1 T. Olive oil
2-3 T. Thai red curry paste (FYI - dish is very hot w/3 T, also I use Thai
Kitchen brand curry paste which has no funky ingredients)
2 -1/2 c. canned coconut milk
2 -1/2 pounds ground lamb (or lamb cut 1" cubes)
salt and pepper to taste
Garnish: 1/2-3/4 c. chopped cilantro
Warm oil over LOW heat, add curry paste, stir and cook for about 5 minutes
then add coconut milk. Cook and stir for another 3 minutes. Add the lamb,
bring to a boil, and lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook covered for 1
to 1-1/2 hours for ground lamb or 1-1/2 to 2 hrs for cubes, stirring from
time to time. The meat should be soft; if not continue cooking until it is.
Raise the heat and cook uncovered another 10 minutes or until the sauce is
thick (becomes gravy-like). Taste for seasoning (adjust with salt and pepper)
and serve garnished with cilantro (I actually stir it in after taking pan
off heat). Six servings.
Adapted from Fran McCullogh's The Low-Carb Cookbook for Thai-Style Beef Curry
Note: A friend tried this recipe substituting Thai roasted red chili paste
and basil for the curry paste and cilantro respectively and it came out
much milder but still quite good.

Welsh Lamb Caul
---------------
Caul is a rich meat soup/stew/meal-in-one enjoyed by my fellow Welshmen -
so the inclusion of leeks; the Welsh national emblem, is not surprising!:
No weights or measures, but meat should be about 1/3 and veg 2/3 of the
total volume of solids....
Neck of lamb chopped into chunks
Onions, leeks, carrots, leeks, and leeks!
One hard conference pear - whole (trust me).
Salt and pepper to taste
Fry and brown the lamb in a large, heavy stew pot
Remove excess fat and add water to cover the meat
Bring to the boil and simmer for 2 hours or until the meat is tender
Add all the veg and the pear, top up the water to almost cover the veg
Return to the boil and simmer for 30 mins.

Lamb & Goat: Oven
Lamb in Red Wine Sauce
----------------------
This is a most delicious recipe that makes a thick rich sauce, a wonderful
way to cook lamb rather than the usual rare lamb.
1 leg of lamb, bone-in is better
1 1/2 tblspns olive oil or goose fat
2 - 3 onions, peeled
2 celery sticks
3 - 4 carrots peeled
8 - 10 garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 - 2 (750 ml) bottles of red wine, the best you can afford
rosemary and thyme, or herb de provence
black and white peppercorns
bunch of parsley (flat leaf preferred)
1 tblspn wine vinegar
salt to taste
Trim off fat from the lamb and discard fat. Salt and pepper the lamb. Heat
up oil in a dutch oven on the stove. Brown the lamb on all sides, this
usually takes about 10 minutes or so. Drain the fat when finished.
Put lamb in dutch oven. Add 1 1/2 - 2 bottles of red wine (use decent wine,
not the best in the celler but decent). Add quartered onions, garlic cloves
quartered, some salt, and celery sticks cut up. These give the lamb flavor
but are not meant to be eaten.
Alternatively (better, but a bit more fussy): after browning the lamb,
remove lamb, and into the same dutch oven, with about one tablespoon of fat,
dice and put in onions, carrots, and celery. Saute these until the onions
start to brown then proceed with the recipe by adding lamb, wine etc.
In either cheesecloth of a "tea ball" put in a few bay leaves, a bunch of
parsley, about 10 peppercorns (black and white), some herb de provence or
some thyme and rosemary. Put this "bouquet garni" in the liquid with the
lamb.
Add a few tablespoons of wine vinegar and some salt.
Cover tightly as possible and cook in the oven at 425 - 450 degrees or on
the stove. Oven is best because it prevents the bottom from scorching.
Turn the lamb over at least once or twice during cooking. Cooking generally
takes about 3 or even 4 hours. You want the lamb to be completely falling
apart so you can eat it with a spoon.
If you add cooking liquid to it during cooking due to evaporation, add broth
rather than water (I use chicken broth) if possible, otherwise add water.
Don't let the liquid level get too low or things will scorch.
When finished remove the lamb, discard the vegetables but keep the sauce.
The sauce is very rich and you should be able to eat the lamb with a spoon!
It tastes as good or better the next day.

Boneless Lamb Shoulder Roast
----------------------------
1 cup parsley leaves
4 medium cloves garlic
salt and freshly ground black pepper
about 2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1 boned lamb shoulder (3-4 pound), trimmed of surface fat (ask the butcher)
Preheat oven to 300 F. Mince the garlic and parsley together until quite
fine. Add a big pinch of salt, some pepper and enough olive oil to make it
slurry. Smear this onto and into the lamb, making sure to get it into every
nook and cranny possible. Put lamb into a roasting pan lined with foil.
Roast for about 1 and 1/2 hours, basting with pan juices every 30 minutes or
so. When internal temp reaches 140 F, turn heat to 400 F and roast about 10
minutes more, until internal temp is 150 F and the exterior has browned
nicely. Let roast sit for about 10 minutes, then carve and serve with some
if its juices.

Roast Leg of Lamb
-----------------
The best way I have found to cook it is to roast a leg in the oven covered
for 2 hrs. at 300F. This does not over cook it and it is delicious. Then I
drain off the juice into a jar and refrigerate it. The left over lamb I
also put in the fridge and when I want to eat it again I slice some off,
put in some of the now jellied juice, and maybe a little piece of the,
beautiful white, hard fat that covers the jelly into a frying pan, season
it with a little herbamare and all-purpose herbs and just warm it up, then
I pour the delicious juice over my steamed collards or kale and eat a most
yummy dish.
The chops are very good too. I lightly cook them in a frying pan, just
enough to kill any bacteria on the out side. I like all meat as raw as I
can dare to eat it. It just tastes better!

Lamb & Goat: Broiler
Jerk Ribs
---------
Lamb ribs are quite nice with jerk seasoning. (Goat meat would be more
authentic, but lamb works just as well.)
For jerk ribs, marinate the 3-4 lbs ribs over night in 1 tablespoon of
jerk seasoning mixed with 1/4 cup olive oil. BBQ over low heat for 4
hours or more, until the bones can be pulled from the meat. (If your
BBQ has a smoker, use it!)

Lamb & Goat: Crock Pot
Crockpot Leg of Lamb
--------------------
Take a half-leg of lamb (small enough to fit into your crockpot) and a
garlic bulb. Peel and thickly sliver 8-12 cloves of garlic (I used a
whole bulb). Use a sharp paring knife to make slits about an inch or
so apart all over the leg of lamb and stuff garlic slivers into the slits,
then put the lamb into the crockpot with a little water (maybe 1/3 c.). You
could sear the lamb in a pan first to brown it, but since I was starting
this very late at night I didn't bother and it was fine. Cook 5-6 hours on
auto-shift for fairly well-done lamb. Remove from crockpot, carve and
serve. Save broth, bones and leftovers for another dish (see following
recipe). I suppose you could also add chunks of carrots, etc to cook with
the leg of lamb. My father studs lamb with garlic the same way before
grilling on his Weber grill, and it's really fantastic.

CrockPot Lamb Vindaloo
----------------------
3 lbs boneless leg of lamb (unless you can find lamb stew meat)
2 T dried minced onion (or 1 medium yellow onion, minced)
6 cloves of minced garlic
1/2 t ground clove
1 t ground ginger
3/4 t red cayenne pepper (+/-)
1 T ground coriander
1 T cumin
1 t cinnamon
1/4 cup lemon or lime juice
optional:
1 can tomatoes [or 1/2 cup water]
Carefully trim the lamb, and cut into stew-meat sized chunks. Put in crock
with all of the dry spices and onion. Let it sit overnight in the fridge.
This could be optional, but having the meat soak up the spice flavor is a
part of making a really good vindaloo. In the morning add the 1/4 cup of
citrus juice. Add the can of tomatoes or 1/2 cup of water. Cook on low for
8-10 hours.

Slow-Cooked Leg of Lamb with Garlic, Lemon & Rosemary
-----------------------------------------------------
1 leg of lamb (that will fit in your CrockPot - if not, get the butcher
to cut off the shank end) - with or without bone
1 lemon
4-5 garlic cloves, sliced or crushed
1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. coarse salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
some wine, chicken or beef stock, tomato juice or water
On a chopping board, pat your lamb dry with paper towels. Finely grate
about half the zest off the lemon and grind into a paste with the garlic,
rosemary, oil, salt and pepper using a mortar and pestle. Rub the paste all
over the lamb. If you like, let it sit on the countertop for half an hour or
so, or refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
Put it into the CrockPot. Add about half a cup of liquid. Squeeze the juice
of the lemon overtop too. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
