Moussaka

This recipe is from our friend James Whetlor’s book Goat. He knows an awful lot about goat. He worked for Riverside Cottage for a few years before launching Cabrito Goat. A by-product of the goats cheese and milk industry is billy goats, which in the industry are often euthanised at birth. James was given a few goats which he kept for the summer and planned to eat himself. He put one on the menu at Riverside and that night the goat outsold the beef. Within a year he quit Riverside and started selling goat to London restaurants full time. This is his sisters recipe and its a really good one. If you can’t get goat it could be cooked with beef or lamb.
