If it’s all about lamb for you in springtime, think again. With the popularity of goats’ milk and cheese, the by-product goat meat is now gaining traction. Combined here with the spring flavours of morel mushrooms and wild garlic, it makes a wonderful roast dinner.
Method
-
Heat the butter in a pan until foaming. Place the goat in with the butter and fry for 6-10 minutes, basting all the time - cook the meat longer, if you prefer your meat more well done. After a few minutes, add the artichokes. Remove and place on a carving dish, covering loosely with foil, and rest for at least six minutes.
-
Blanch the morel mushrooms for ten seconds in a pan of salted boiling water. Drain thoroughly and add the morels to the pan used to cook the goat and cook for three minutes.
-
Add the lazy garlic, cook for 15-20 seconds, or until fragrant, and then deglaze with the sherry vinegar. Once the vinegar has evaporated, add the gravy and bring to the boil.
-
Add the wild garlic and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the meat in slices with the morels and wild garlic on the side.
