Marinated and Grilled Goat Skewers
Recipe for grilled goat skewers marinated in yogurt and Middle Eastern spices.
Servings: 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs goat meat cut into 1.5" cubes
For the Marinade
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 2 tsp ground sumac
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 each lime juiced
Cucumber Yogurt Sauce
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 4 oz cucumber grated
- juice of 1/2 lime
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the goat meat into cubes, removing any large pieces of fat or sinew.
To marinate the meat
- Whisk together the ingredients for the marinade and combine with the goat meat. Place the marinated goat meat in a large zip lock bag or covered container and refrigerate for 24 hours or overnight.
- When you are ready to cook it, take the meat out of the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place 3 or 4 pieces of meat on each skewer (I used bamboo skewers soaked in water but you can use metal ones as well). Cook on a hot grill until done to your preference. Serve with cucumber yogurt sauce (below) and fresh warm pita bread.
For the Yogurt Sauce
- Grate the cucumber and combine it with the yogurt, lime juice, salt and pepper.
