Goat Stew isn't a dish typically served at the average American's dinner table. However, after getting to know all the benefits that goat meat offers, the goat may be the next thing to go viral. Goat, known as mutton, buck, or rammy, is one of the healthiest red meats on the market. Low in calories and saturated fat, higher in protein and iron than beef, chicken, and pork. Goat meat is trendy in the Caribbean and other parts of the globe, such as India, Africa, and Asia, especially since goats can be consumed within religions that don't allow beef or pork to be part of the diet. Infusing goat stew with Caribbean flavors is a delicious way to enjoy goat stew. Classic stew ingredients of onions, carrots, potatoes, celery, garlic, thyme, and rosemary are used alongside coconut milk, ginger, allspice, a pinch of turmeric, and scotch bonnet peppers for some heat. The goat meat is marinated in Trinidad Green Seasoning overnight and cooked low and slow until the meat is falling off the bones and finger-licking good.
Is goat stew healthy?
Yes, goat meat is very healthy as it contains a high amount of iron and protein with a low amount of calories and saturated fat.
What is the best way to cook goat?
With the meat being very lean, goat meat can be tricky if not cooked properly. It's best to be cooked under low temperatures for longer, for example, in soups, stews, or curry, braised or slow-roasted in the oven. You can use a pressure cooker or instant pot to reduce cooking times.
What part of the goat is best for stew?
The best parts of goat to add to a stew are the same cuts you would choose for beef or pork. Shoulder, neck, leg, or shank are tougher cuts that respond well to longer cooking times by absorbing all the stew's flavors resulting in a tender and delicious dish.
What spices go well with goat meat?
Goat has a gamey flavor and pairs very well with salty, savory, and spicy items. Some spices include curries of all sorts, peppercorns, chilies, cardamom, cumin, five-spice, and coriander.

Hi, I just made this tonight…
Hi, I just made this tonight with 5lbs of baby goat shoulder meat. It. Was. Incredible.
I followed the recipe almost completely. I substituted celery for shitake mushrooms since my husband does not like celery. The meat literally fell off the bone and was so juicy and succulent. Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I was researching for days on which way I wanted to cook the baby goat shoulder and hands down your recipe could not have been better. Bravo!!!!
