Thread: Cabrito roast.

Better than lamb...

You will need 2x young kid/nanny legs (one is not enough, don't kid yourself), preferably age the meat/legs for about 4-5 days in the fridge.

You will need these ingredients:

• 2-3 large cloves of garlic (mashed)
• 1/2 teaspoon rock salt
• 1.5 teaspoons of of herbs (I used 2x big sprigs of fresh rosemary)
• 2 heaped Tablespoons of dijon mustard (I prefer Masterfoods brand)
• 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice
• 1/4 cup of a good extra virgin olive oil

Method:

Place legs in a large Glad- ziplock bag, followed by all the marinade ingredients (except the salt, add that just before your ready to cook), seal and place in fridge for 8-13 hours (overnight will do, flip the bag when you can so they get sufficiently covered).

When it comes to roasting, preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius and place legs in for 10mins before lowering the temperature down to 160 degrees celsius. The cooking time will depend on the size of your legs, but mine took roughly 40mins... basting regularly with remaining mixture left in ziplock bag will help enhance the flavour.

Rest the meat and enjoy.


Looks pretty basic, but it tasted fantastic and was bloody tender.
