Much of the Greek economy has traditionally relied on lamb and goats - for milk, yogurt, and cheeses - as well as for meat. And when Greeks sit down to celebrate, lamb or kid is almost always on the menu, and they are the traditional meats of Easter. Enjoy these favorite recipes. Goat can be a tough meat, so this recipe is designed to ensure a nice tender meat. The goat leg is marinated overnight, brined in a spice rub paste for 3 hours, seared over a hot BBQ and finished off in the oven. The end result is a supple tender meat, and the mild flavor of the young goat is enhanced but not overpowered by the marinade and rub.

I have a hard time cooking the goat leg because it takes a lot time to wait. I almost wait for an hour for the goat’s leg to be cooked. The most important part of the recipe is to cook it well so that it will taste better and for it to have a fresh taste and not some kind of an offbeat taste. I’m glad that I did it right!

I made some revisions on it to lessen the time of cooking...I made use of pressure cooker in cooking the leg of the goat...and it turned out really good. My family actually enjoyed the taste of this dish!

I’ve tasted this when I visited my uncle in his place and it tasted good. The problem is, when I went back to my place, which is somewhere in the city, I had troubles looking for its ingredients specially the leg of a young goat. I was disappointed on it. This dish cannot be on the cities. *sigh…

I liked this recipe so much even if I’m not fond of eating goat. This dish makes it to the top for goat recipes. Just follow every instruction stated here. The only changes I did was adding a little brandy when preparing the gigot to bring out its freshness.

I think 50 minutes is too long for cooking this recipe... You could use pressure cooker in cooking this recipe.

I adore the concept of the recipe. Think it needs more spices in the center. Easy to make and was delicious.

Takes too long preparing this recipe and it doesn’t even taste that good.

Our family dinner felt like the old times because of this. It has a homey scent and homey taste. I believe it’s responsible for setting up the comfortable atmosphere that made us comfortable in rekindle our pasts, share our current stories, and have the family bonding we usually had during supper. I will never forget my gratefulness for this recipe.

I feel pity to the young goat being butchered at an early stage. Does it have to be a leg of a young goat? Hurts to know that a young goat will be butchered but, it TASTES so GOOD. Yeah, it really tastes so good. I’m not being sarcastic but I really love this dish. Bring out some more young and fresh goats!
