About Goat, raw
Goat is the most widely eaten red meat on the planet, central to the cooking of the Caribbean, South Asia, Africa and the Mediterranean even as it remains uncommon on Western tables. Its flavor is mild and a little sweeter and gamier than lamb, and it takes beautifully to curries, stews and slow roasts.
At about 109 calories per 100 grams raw, goat is remarkably lean — lower in fat and calories than beef, pork or lamb — while still delivering plenty of protein, iron, B12, zinc and potassium. That leanness is a nutritional plus but also a cooking challenge.
With so little fat to protect it, goat is best cooked low and slow with moisture — braised, curried or stewed for hours until tender — rather than cooked hot and fast. Tender young goat (sometimes sold as cabrito or kid) can be grilled or roasted more quickly.
