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.
