FFwD: Navarin Printanier

This recipe ended up being an interesting story. I was at the grocery store looking at the lamb, thinking how expensive it was, when I saw some packages that were marked previously frozen and a lot cheaper. I didn't care about the previously frozen, it was going in stew anyway, so into the cart they went. Got home and as I put them in the fridge, re-read the label and realized they were not lamb, but goat. So, we had goat stew, minus the turnip because I could not find one, and with only a couple peas, because the bag of peas I had in my freezer only had about a quarter cup. Anyway, the soup turned out really good! I even told my hubby it was goat and we ate all of it!

veggies in butter and sugar

meat, broth, and spices

  4. Oh, I love this. What does goat taste like? You have a stellar husband if he will try goat. I just don't know if I could go there. At least you saved some little lamb from being slaughtered.

    1. Thanks! It was good, the meat was almost sweet and really tender. Yeah, my hubbie is a real trooper, there are only a couple things he won't eat!

  11. I went to the market yesterday without my reading glasses and it´s a miracle I ended up buying lamb. Great thing you did it with goat anyway!

  14. I love goat! I love lamb too. Some people complain that lamb is too gamey (which I don't), but I agree with you that goat is almost sweet. Yum! Nice job, Erin!

  15. LOL - I love it. Like you, I generally use up what I have, so if I didn't have too many peas, I would have left it at that. I loved this stew and would happily try it with goat.
