Moroccan Goat Stew

Have you ever tried goat meat?  If you’ve seen them in real life, they’re not as meaty as those furry and cuddly lambs we all love to pet, though they’re cute and gentle creatures created for traversing rocky terrain around the world. When it comes to cooking goat meat, it can be a lot bonier than lamb, so some people have a difficult time justifiying the need to cook it when lamb is plentiful. I say, as long as it’s halal, I’ll try anything new– although we don’t have it often, goat meat is not new to me but this recipe is…

I developed it to use with Saffron Road’s new Moroccan Tagine Simmer Sauce and it’s very interchangeable with lamb or beef. You can serve it over rice or couscous, too.

You just need a few things: potatoes (I used fingerling, but you can use any type you prefer), red onions (or white or yellow) and a large tomato (this one’s a huge heirloom).

And, of course, the Moroccan Tagine Simmer Sauce by Saffron Road. One package is sufficient for this dish.
