This Thanksgiving Tuck Into Shiela’s Goat Chops!
So tomorrow’s Thanksgiving and we are just happy to find another reason to celebrate in the middle of the week!
And hey! we desis can celebrate a mean-lean Thanksgiving too but we just can’t live without giving it our very own touch. So that makes us drool for one of our favorite delicacies that we crave for no matter where we are and Shiela, The Girl That Made It All, gives us the perfect recipe for it!
This Whip-It-Up-Wednesday, check out the simple and delicious Juby’s Famous Goat Chops recipe from Shiela’s kitchen:
“Here’s a secret… this recipe is not mine. It is my sister’s famous recipe (with a couple of tweaks by me) for goat chops. These chops are melt in your mouth good. When I was pregnant with my first child, I couldn’t get enough MEAT. All I wanted was some red meat with a side of meat. Funny thing was that I hated goat chops before getting pregnant. I used to be a chicken girl. My sister came to visit me while I was pregnant and brought my husband her famous chops. Being pregnant and wanting any meat in sight, I ate it up like I had never seen food before. I ate the whole thing and was so sad when it was finished. I had to ask her the recipe. After that I was hooked.”
“Since goat meat is lean, it requires slow cooking to preserve the tenderness. I don’t have time for that. I use my Instant Pot to start the cooking and then finish it off in a wok for a nice sear. It is marinated in cream and whole garam masala spices.”
“Here’s how I make it:”
