Today Bernardino decided that the goat who spitefully ate the salad and cabbage just planted, should be eaten, and then we cooked it!
Logically roasted ,so I marinated it the night before with the juice of two lemons, a glass of vinegar, rosemary, salt and pepper. After all night, put away the marinade juices, season again with salt, black pepper, white wine, chopped garlic, rosemary and sage, and we started cooking that went on for 4 hours in the oven, always adding white wine … .. and we served it with rosemary potatoes! Delicious…
