I did this ages ago & a few people liked it including the late & much missed Scarbelly whose recipe I adapted.

This is a little rushed,so I short cut it a bit.




I bashed together 4 cloves of garlic, thumb size bit of ginger, those 2 chills that I grew myself,roots of a bunch of cilantro,& some fresh thyme.

When I had a paste I added 2 fat tabs of Baba's curry powder,some peanut oil,zest & juice of a lime.

I have rubbed that all over between the chops front & back.

This is a loin,had some nice snow white fat on the inside cheap by my standards at $13 a kg ,way cheaper than lamb.

I will let this sit for an hour then in the MES over a mixture of pellets,apple ,hickory & bourbon barrel. 

I will do "rice & peas" & flat bread

Sold as loin here,it's really a rack of chops with the belly flap as well.internal fat was probably left from around kidney .
I had my pick of racks of rib cutlets,shoulder,leg,all the same price. Goat was about 12kg dressed,the size I prefer for this style of cooking.
In MES now.
 
I will have my 2 glass Sunday night ration from this bottle. What we call GSM,Grenache,Shiraz,Mataro.This one from the Barossa Valley, Dandelion Vineyards 2012. For those from the Wino's & woodchips who may drop by.
 
This was good but the chilli was over the top. I grew them so I can't blame anybody else! They are some habanero style deal .1 would have been plenty.
Rub was right thing regardless. By goat standards he was a fat little guy!
I had it in MES for 2 hours ,oven for 30 min. It stayed moist but was a little chewy. Tasty but I think I have to work on the balance ,cooked pink it's a fine line on how tender you can get it.
 
Looks great Mick!
Thanks ,it was good. Those chilli's are way hotter than I  figured

,they were in the freezer.The bush is in the front yard at the fishing shack down the coast.

Goat is a tricky buy sometimes. He was a little chewy,tasty for sure. I do like it in a curry where you can cook until its really soft & back the heat off with extra coconut milk if you went "over" on the chilli.
 
Very nice meal & thread !

Nice looking meal Man. I really like that paste you made .
Glad you liked it. The paste is a short cut of sorts. I like the Baba's brand of curry powders,yellow packet for seafood,green packet for meats. They  give you a great flavour profile straight out of the packet.You can change it up with some curry leaf or kaffir lime leaf instead of thyme,lemongrass will fit,fresh cilantro.

I will go again but with a different cut , rib cutlets in a rack if I can get it. And back the chilli off
