Sticky BBQ Goat Meat

2 Servings ~ 55 minutes
  • 500g goat meat
  • ¼ medium lemon

Goat meat is popular in our Zimbabwean cuisine. It would be slaughter together with chickens and or a cow during gatherings such as parties, weddings and sometimes funerals. The usual way to prepare this would be stewing it. I decided to play around with it and make something different. It was absolutely delicious! We all enjoyed it and I hope you will too.

This goat meat tastes absolutely fabulous! The meat just falls off the bones and the flavours from the garlic, lemon and barbecue sauce work well giving this nice charcoal(ed) effect.
