Of Goats and Greens
A blog for food and cookery and discussions of weird things like nutrition, restaurant excursions, growing food in my own garden, DIY, and farmsteading/homesteading. But, mostly food. Mostly harmless...
I definitely steer to a preference for Real Food. (Would someone's great-grandparent somewhere have recognized that item as food?) Otherwise, I'm an omnivore who travels the world (gustatorially). Yes, I also make use of "odd bits". No, I don't bake desserts much -- I really don't have much of a "sweet-tooth". Nearly all of my recipes in recent years are gluten-free. And other than coconut, my recent and future recipes are tree-nut free, as I have digestive issues with those. There's a strong Paleo influence here.
I try to post recipes every Friday, with potential supplemental posts on Tuesdays.
Please leave me comments! Interacting with folk drives me forward!

Lamb Broth Soup with Brussels Sprouts
Remember the Leg of Lamb Mechoui? There was so much luscious leftover au jus from that, that I saved it in a bowl, placed it in the refrigerator, and easily skimmed off the small layer of fat the next … Continue reading
Moroccan Mechoui (Slow Roasted Bone-In Lamb Leg)
And today I’m posting the Moroccan Leg of Lamb recipe promised last Friday. It turned out very well. I had a pot luck supper here, for five (one person had to bail at the last minute, so we were four). … Continue reading
Ras al Hanout Moroccan Seasoning
This weekend, I am making a Moroccan leg of lamb for a pot-luck gathering here, with a low and slow braise. It’s a Mediterranean theme pot-luck. In advance, I’m making the Ras al Hanout seasoning I wish to use for … Continue reading
Asian Coleslaw
Another hot-weather dish you don’t need to heat up your kitchen to make! Although finally this week the weather has broke in this burgh. Typically, this will be a side. You will usually find shredded carrot in recipes for Asian … Continue reading

Vegetarian Eggplant, Apple and Onion Casserole with Ras al Hanout
Casserole. A word redolent of the ’50s and ’60s with maybe a glimpse into the ’70s. Dated. Casseroles are dated. Just like wood-stained kitchen cabinetry, and appliances that aren’t stainless steel. (As in my kitchen!) Proud to own a “dated” … Continue reading →
