🧂 Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg Young goat(cut into large pieces)
  • 10 cloves Garlic(minced)
  • 0.5 cup Lemon juice
  • 0.5 cup Ginguba (peanuts)(roasted and ground)
  • 0.25 cup Olive oil
  • 1 cup White wine
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Gindungo (chili pepper)(or to taste, finely chopped)
  • 2 medium Bay leaves

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1

    In a mortar or food processor, combine minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and chopped gindungo to form a paste.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the goat pieces with the garlic-gindungo paste, lemon juice, ground ginguba, and olive oil. Mix well to coat the meat. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

  4. 4

    Arrange the marinated goat pieces in a roasting pan. Add the bay leaves and pour the white wine over the meat.

  5. 5

    Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil or a lid. Roast for 1.5 hours, basting with the pan juices occasionally.

  6. 6

    Remove the foil or lid and continue roasting for another 30 minutes, or until the goat is tender and browned.

  7. 7

    Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with rice, batata doce (sweet potato), or funge.

    💡 Tip: Ensure the goat meat is young and tender for the best results.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Roasting the ginguba before grinding enhances its flavor.

🔄 Variations
