Ingredients

• 2 pounds goat meat, cut into cubes
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped rosemary, dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Add the cubed goat meat to the marinade and toss to coat. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
4. Meanwhile, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
5. After the goat has marinated, remove it from the marinade and place it on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake the goat and potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the goat is browned and cooked through and the potatoes are fork-tender.
7. Let the goat and potatoes rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tips

• If you can’t find cubed goat meat, you can cube it yourself using boneless goat shoulder or stew meat.
• Make sure to let the goat marinate for at least 30 minutes, as this will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat and make it even more tender.
• If you like your potatoes extra crispy, try broiling them for the last few minutes of baking.
• Feel free to customize the marinade with your favorite herbs and spices. Thyme, oregano, and cumin all work well with goat.
