Vincotto-braised goat with rice polenta and cavolo nero
Head to the Tuscan hills with this recipe by chef Luke Burgess, featuring vincotto-braised goat, served with creamy rice polenta and a good side of greens.
Ingredients (13)
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 3-4kg capretto (baby goat), jointed into 6 pieces (ask your butcher to do this)
- 2 onions, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 1 rosemary sprig, leaves picked
- 100ml vincotto
- 100ml red wine vinegar
- 1L (4 cups) chicken stock or water
- 1 tbs grapeseed oil or olive oil
- 1 bunch cavolo nero (Tuscan black cabbage), stems trimmed
Rice polenta
- 3 cups (750ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (100g) rice flour
- 75g unsalted butter
Method
-
1.Preheat the oven to 140°C.
-
2.Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole over medium heat. Sear goat, in batches, for 4-5 minutes, turning, until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
-
3.Cook the onion, garlic and rosemary in the pan for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add the vincotto, vinegar and stock or water, then return the goat to the pan. Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours or until the goat is tender.
-
4.Remove goat from pan, then simmer stock over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until reduced by half. Remove the meat from the bone in large pieces and return to the reduced stock. Gently stir over low heat to warm through. Keep warm.
-
5.Meanwhile, for the polenta, place milk in a pan and bring to just below boiling point. Reduce heat to low, then slowly pour in the rice flour, whisking constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Add butter and 1 teaspoon salt and stir until combined. (You can add more milk for a softer consistency, if desired.) Keep warm.
-
6.Heat grapeseed oil in a pan over high heat. Cook cavolo nero for 1-2 minutes until wilted but still slightly crunchy.
-
7.Serve goat on rice polenta with cavolo nero, drizzled with the reduced stock.
