Baby Goat Leg 4-5Lbs
Ingredients
- 1 whole bone-in goat leg, about 5 pounds (2.2 kg and above)
- 1 bulb garlic, minced
- 3-4 small anchovies, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chili flakes (hotter is better)
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (or honey)
- 1 tablespoon cumin powder
- 1/4 cup mustard (or olive) oil
- 1/4 cup whisky
- 1/2 cup cumin seeds, roasted
- 6-10 basil leaves, chopped
- 2 lemons, halved and squeezed
- 3-4 rosemary sprigs
Directions
Combine the minced garlic, chopped basil leaves, anchovies, chilli flakes, salt, brown sugar (or honey), cumin powder, mustard oil (you can use olive oil), and whisky in a mixing bowl the day before the roast, and then squeeze in the lemon juice. Divide the mixture in half, one to marinate and the other to use as a rub while roasting.
Before removing the meat from the oven, roast it for about an hour and a half. Raise the heat to 325°F and remove the foil from the roasting pan. Mix a few drops of hot water into the remaining marinade from the day before and rub it on the meat with a brush. Cook for another hour, or until the meat begins to brown and crisp on the outside and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
