Diced meat, which can be on or off the bone, is one of the easiest options to cook. A healthy and versatile meat that's not just for curry!!!

Minced goat makes great burgers or koftas (no rusk or egg needed), meatballs, goat herders pie to name a few

Goat meat has a low fat content and so one of the best ways to cook it is slowly at a low temperature. This keeps the moisture in and gives a rich, full flavour whilst remaining tender and juicy

Goat or kid joints benefit from slow cooking covered with moisture kept in -such as roasting bag or foil
