Last week nearly two hundred pounds of goat meat arrived in our freezer. We were able to get it USDA inspected at a newer local facility in Sturgeon Lake, MN that we really enjoy. Of course we took out a package right away and Mathew cooked up a rack of goat ribs. It was savory and satisfying!
We found our recipe at mymidlifekitchen.com. With only five ingredients, it was simple, quick to prepare and warmed the house nicely since it cooked for three hours. Perfect for a winter day in Minnesota!
- 1 2-3 lb. rack goat ribs
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 1/4 cup freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/4 cup garlic powder
- 1/2 cup water
Check out mymidlifekitchen.com for the full recipe and how to prepare it.
Goat meat is a great source of lean protein, B-12 vitamin and iron. It is also quite versatile if you enjoy a variety of tastes and flavors. According to a Universiy of California blog post, “What is the world’s most popular meat?” goat meat is actually the most commonly consumed meat in the world, with 63% of the world’s population eating it. This article also has a nutritional comparison of various meats, see below. We look forward to trying Indonesian, South American, French, Asian, Middle Eastern and African recipes. Each has their own special spices to add. Please share your favorite recipes with us so we can share them with the world!
