Cook Goat Stew

While goat may not be a typical addition to the American menu, in many other cultures it is a staple ingredient in many cuisines.

It can be used in kabobs, braised, stewed, or curried, and it is really quite delicious. The taste is a bit like combination of beef and lamb. It has a little less of a gamy taste than that of lamb, but the meat is a bit more oily than most beef.

Braising or stewing seem to be the most popular ways to prepare goat because the meat is sometimes tough and requires some extra time to reach the desired tenderness.
