Roasted Baby Goat Leg
This was our first dish from the baby goat we had picked up from Island Family Farm, and we got it just a few days after it went to slaughter. In fact, it had never been refrigerated before, and I don’t know if that had an effect on how tender and juicy the meat was. I roasted this like I would roast a lamb shank – very simply with Mediterranean herbs – and Todd made some wonderful, smoky black lentils and carrots and a garden salad with an orange/lemon vinaigrette.
Roasted Baby Goat Leg
1 goat leg
3 large sprigs rosemary, stemmed
1 head garlic, peeled and cloves sliced
3 large sprigs oregano, stemmed
Sea salt
Pepper
Olive oil
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
- In a bowl, combine the rosemary, garlic, oregano, sea salt, pepper, and olive oil.
- Rub the goat leg with the herb mixture and place in a large roasting pan (on a rack).
- Place the goat in the oven for 30 minutes and then turn the heat down to 350.
- Continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 160. You may have to cover the leg with foil mid-way through the cooking time to prevent the herbs from burning.
