Roast Leg of Goat

To describe the taste of goat it is similar to mutton (old sheep). A gamey flavour that is complimented beautifully with the red wine marinade sauce. The success with this roast is the type of red wine you use, top quality favourite red wine is a winner!

  • Ingredients:
  • Roast leg of goat
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup quality red wine
  • pinch of dried rosemary
  • ½ cup barbeque sauce
  • ½ cup rice bran oil
  • 2 Tbl cornflour

Place roast into a double large freezer bag. Mix all the marinade ingredients together and pour into freezer bag. Roll the roast around to be fully covered by marinade. Leave in refrigerator for 3 to 6 hours before cooking. Turn over the roast occasionally. Reserve the marinade to make a sauce.

Seal roast in frypan or camp oven 5 mins each side. Place trivet under roast, throw in veggies and cook for 1 hour in a 180 degrees oven. Allow to rest for ten minutes after removing from oven.

Place 2 Tbl of cornflour in a shake and pour container with the marinade. Pour into a medium heat fry pan and stir until thickened. Serve with roast.

Camp Oven: Place trivet under roast after browning each side, put coals on top and bottom.

Be aware different ovens vary with cooking times, check after 1 hour and cook an extra 30 minutes if needed. If using the camp oven on a gas stove you may need a flame diffuser to keep the flame low for an hour of cooking.
