FOOD | Haitian Style Barbecued Goat's Meat

As a Chef I love to barbecue meats and grill fish. One of my favorite meat to BBQ in the summer is goat meat. Goat's meat is a staple in Caribbean cuisine. However, depending on what island you're located, it is mostly curried or stewed.

Goat meat has a unique flavor that is further enhanced by the smoke from the coals when grilled or BBQed. The following is my recipe for Haitan Style  BBQ Goat Meat. I hope you enjoy it.
