As I've told you before, I really like kid goat meat. It is reminiscent of spring lamb, but much more tender and a lot less fatter. This dish is great served with rice (I used whole rice) that can absorbe the tastes from the rich gravy.
4
4 kid goat shanks
2 large carrots, peeled
2 parsley roots, peeled
1 large turnip, peeled
1 onion, peeled and quartered
1 tomato, quartered
5 garlic cloves, peeled
1 glass red wine
1 tbsp. fennel seeds
1 dried chili pepper
Olive oil
Atlantic sea salt
Preheat your oven to 120C.
Preheat a large cast iron casserole for a few minutes, then add the olive oil and sear the shanks, two at a time, until all sides are brown
Meanwhile, quarter the turnip and cut the carrots and parsley roots to pieces 3cm long.
When all shanks are browned, put all of them in the casserole and add the wine. Deglaze and let the wine evaporate.
Add a handful of salt, the fennel seeds and all vegetables. Cover the casserole and move to the oven, baking for at least 5 hours.
When the meat is tender, remove the casserole from the oven, put the shanks aside and reduce the liquids over a medium fire until a thick, savoury gravy is formed.
Put the shanks back in the casserole to warm them up and serve.
