California Farm Goat Chops with Pine Nuts California Farm Goat Chops with Pine Nuts
Lean and gamey, goat meat will be fall-off-the-bone tender with a short marinade and overnight cast iron pot simmer, just like venison. Goat chops taste more like lean red game meats, like buffalo and venison, so I use pungent spices: toasted pine nuts, toasted black peppercorns and dried rosehips. Potatoes, carrots, peas, onions and tomatoes are added a few hours before dinner to absorb the meat broth flavors. Hobby Horseman
