Goat meat dishes are not very common in our country. And in vain, because 70% of all red meat eaten by people around the world is goat meat.
Goat meat dishes are not very common in our country. And in vain, because 70% of all red meat eaten by people around the world is goat meat. Such popularity around the world of goat meat can be explained by two factors: goats are very easy to breed and feed, and goat meat can be eaten by Jews and Muslims who do not eat pork, and Hindus who do not eat beef. Goat meat tastes a bit like lamb, and the nutritional properties of goat meat are almost as good as beef.
The meat of young domestic goats is considered the most valuable. Such meat is rich in vitamins A and B, has a very delicate, incomparable taste, and there is absolutely no specific smell that scares away some gourmets.
Goat meat, even non-dairy meat, can be cooked so deliciously that it will become a signature dish on any holiday table. And if you managed to get the meat of a dairy goat, then you will never forget the most delicate taste of such a dish.
The kid can be cooked whole, but most often, before cooking, it is divided into portions. Our advice will help you understand this issue.
Step 1
For work, we need a dairy goat, a knife, a cutting board.
Step 2
Rinse the goat carcass under running water and look inside - there may be entrails left.
Step 3
You can find the heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, lungs there. Cut out all the insides with a sharp knife. They can be boiled and used to prepare delicious dishes, such as filling pies or pancakes.
Step 4
With your hands, press on the lower part of the goat, in the area of the lower legs, and turn them so as to break where they are attached to the spine.
Step 5
Cut off the back legs at the joints.
Step 6
Cut off a sheet of peritoneum on each side.
Step 7
Cut off the two front legs at the joints.
Step 8
Cut off the neck.
Step 9
Divide the rest of the spine up to the ribs into 2-3 parts. Make an incision with a sharp knife between the vertebrae, cutting and breaking the ridge at the same time.
Step 10
Divide all the ribs into 3 parts, making an incision between the ribs all the way to the spine, and then cut through the spine, breaking the carcass at the incision site.
Step 11
The goat is cut into pieces.
