James's Goat Leg
Shoulder roast or leg with bone in
1 cup onions, minced
4 to 6 cloves of garlic, minced
3 tablespoons of cumin,
mashed with mortar and pestle
1 tablespoon coriander, ground
1 teaspoon salt
Mix or puree together the onions, garlic, cumin, coriander, and salt to form
a paste. Pierce the goat roast all over and rub the paste into the meat. Preheat
the oven to 400 F. Sear the meat loosely covered with foil in a roasting pan at
400 F for 15 minutes and then reduce heat to 350 F. Roast meat for another hour
or two depending on weight() until the internal temperature reaches 150 to 160
F. Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes of cooking. If you use a tougher cut,
for example, a neck roast for cooking, plan on a longer cooking time and on
marinating the meat in a mixture of beer and lemon juice overnight.
