Sugar Free Slow Roast Moroccan Goat Recipe

Always up for a culinary challenge, we decided try out Davina McCall’s Sugar free recipes as published in the Mail on Sunday’s You supplement last week. We chose to give her Slow-roast Moroccan Lamb recipe a go, substituting the shoulder of lamb* she used with a Broughgammon Cabrito Leg. The results were outstanding! The meat was so tender and full of delicious flavour from the ras-el-hanout spice mix (containing cinnamon, cardamon, nutmeg plus 20 others!) and the sauce around it was sweet and caramelized from the tinned tomatoes. And of course no refined-sugar in sight! Perfect for those who are on a health kick or following the Paleo diet.

*did you know that goat has less saturated fat than lamb and chicken?! And has half the calories of lamb too!

Davina McCall’s Slow-Roast Moroccan Lamb Goat Recipe:

Serves 8

• 1 Broughgammon Cabrito Leg Roast.
• 2 tbsp ras-el-hanout spicemix
• 2tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• juice of 1 lemon
• pinch of saffron threads
• 1 large onion thinly sliced
• 500ml chicken stock
• 1 tin of chopped tomatoes (400g)
• Handfuls of fresh mint, parsley to serve
• Salt and pepper.

Method:

• Cut slits over the cabrito leg with a sharp knife.
• Mix the spice mix with the oil, garlic, lemon juice, saffron and salt and pepper. Rub this all over the cabrito leg and leave to marinate for a couple of hours.
• Preheat an oven to 240C. Place the onion slices over the base  of a roasting tin and place the cabrito leg on top. Pour the stock around the leg and and season.
• Roast the cabrito for 30 mins in the oven then reduce the temperature to 150C. Roast the cabrito for a further 3 hours and add in the tinned tomatoes after 2 hours.
• The roast will be ready when the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
• Remove from from the oven, cover with foil and let sit for 20mins. Reheat the pan juices, stir in the herbs and serve alongside the meat. We served ours with a roast parsnip and carrot couscous salad.
