Acting the Goat

We have always been interested in trying out some goat meat but have been struggling to find a reliable source in Sheffield. Finally I managed to track down a source online, but we were a little bit wary of buying meat on the internet. But earlier this week we relented and bought an order of goat along with a selection of game and other meats from Alternative Meats.

I have to say that I am very glad that we did and we will certainly be buying through them again. The meat arrived on time and very well packaged. It was all still frozen through with no signs of any defrosting from the delivery process. 

Last night after managing to thaw the diced goat we had a goat curry which I had left in the slow cooker all day while we were at work. It was super tender by the time we got home and it was nice to have a dinner ready for when we got home. It only took ten minutes to cook the vegetable bahji and rice.

We decided to check out how good goat meat actually is for you and surprisingly it is lower in saturated fat then chicken and is also a very good source of iron and B vitamins. So I think it will become a staple on our week night menu.
