Experimental Cookery 2018 (Outsourced!): Goat Goulash

Our second foray into the use of goat while cooking was actually put together by LC. However, as I adapted the recipe for the slow cooker, I've decided to claim enough of the credit to justify a blog entry. Which is a bit of a cheek, but there it is...

I got the recipe originally from The Scottish Goat Meat Company. However, later investigations revealed that is was suspiciously similar to a beef goulash recipe from the Hairy Dieter's "Eat For Life" book (the one with the yellow cover) - that is, it was identical in every respect except for the substitution of 1kg of goat meat for the 1kg of beef in the recipe.

In truth, adapting it for the slow cooker was easy: I reduced the water from 600ml to 200ml, and then instead of putting it in the oven it should be put in the slow cooker for 8 hours. So it was a fairly straightforward recipe with some fairly simple modifications...

Anyway, the resulting meal was rather enjoyable. Certainly, the goat was nice, though I did feel that the goulash could be a bit more, well, goulash-y. If that makes sense. But it was certainly enjoyable enough - fortunate, as we have four portions left in the freezer!

My two conclusions from this meal are: (1) I need more things to do with goat (and I have one or two ideas), and (2) we really do need to use the slow cooker more.
