    A buddy of mine gave me some cabrito meat(steak size cuts). I was thinking about putting them in the pit today. Does anyone know any good recipes or good dry rub or seasoning for cabrito?

    What the hell is a "Cabrito?!?"

    Never mind, I just looked it up (BlUsH)

    Goat is superb in curry. Get a good curry rub and roast that sucker on a spit!
    YUM!!!!!!

    Throw goat in trash, buy pork ribs and cook at 230 degrees for 6 hours. : )

    My advice, use that shit to bait in something a little more palatable like a chupacabra or some domestic cats.

    If you just have to cook it and eat it despite my great advice above make sure to use an extremely overpowering sauce like curry or diesel fuel to mask the skunk piss flavor.

    Never had "traditional cabrito"(I hope to change that someday) but in Haiti I had barbecued goat, and it was awesome. Goes real well with red beans n rice.

    Ain't ever cooked it, but if I were, I'd cut up whatever veggies were in the fridge, onion, garlic, cilantro, calabacitas, potatos, tomatoes, and a red chile, like arbol.

    Then I'd cube the goat, toss on the garlic onion, and goat, a little oil, salt pepper, and whatever chile you have, (assuming its not dried), tomatillo, and brown it

    Then I'd toss in the veggies. Add a bit of water. Then let it cook down.

    Never cooked any, but a long,long time ago we were at Horsetail Falls out of Monterrey Mexico and coming down the mountain and there was a little stand selling cabrito tacos. i stopped and got a couple and they were delicious. My wife didn't want any (no way from a taco stand on the side of the road in Mexico). She finally tried a bite and I ended up turning around and going back to get her some. Haven't had any since then though.

    Soak that sucker in buttermilk overnight to help draw the "Ijustshitmydrawers" taste out of the meat, slather it with a good dry rub, put it in the fridge overnight, then cook slow for several hours. For the record....actually won the Brady Goat Cookoff back in the mid-80's. Folks were comin' up to us all excited, wanting to know just what the hell we'd done to make the meat so damned good.

    We had to admit that we had NO idea - we were there for the party, entering for the "Showman" portion as a black-powder/cowboy shooting team, and were so damned drunk that we had NO idea just what we'd basted that goat with. Had the usual seasonings, plus beer, tequila AND whiskey - and we suspect that early on, we'd tossed a little chewing tabacco on it, as well. No one believed us when we told 'em all that....but it's the truth!

    My Godfather used to raise Goats, when I was a kid he gave me one every year for my Birthday.
    He always asked me if I wanted it as a pet, or how I wanted it cooked, lol.....

    Was in Mexico City probably 20 years ago and went to a place serving cabrito. They had a big 'ole pit surrounded by cinder blocks. They tied the goats to pieces of re-bar and hung it over the pit. We sat drinking Negra Modelos until the goat got cooked. One of the best meals I've ever eaten. All around the outside of the pit was a brine that the goats were floating in. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

    Cube it up, soak in 1/4 part water 1/2 part cheap wine 1/4 part vinegar for two days in the fridge. Saving wine mix, remove meat and brown in skillet. Put meat in slow cooker add salt, and pepper to your liking. Then add just enough equal parts wine mix and tomato juice to cover. Cook for 12 to 18 hrs on low, add carrots, onions, peppers and whatever veggies you like 4 hrs before serving. Ladle over rice.

    I ate a lot of cabrito as a kid traveling Mexico in the 60s. Young kid goats, about 30lb on the hoof. Roasted slow and mopped was wonderful with fresh corn tortillas.

    Marinate it with your favorite marinade. Set some aside to mop it. Grill over coals slow at about 250 degrees, keep it mopped. Serve with same fixings as fajitas.
