Somali, people eat anything

مرحبا

Somali, the land known for its pirates, perhaps a Westernised cliché but in 2008, piracy was actually Somali’s biggest industry so maybe not too exaggerated. For Somali we decided to cook something that is known for eating everything and anything, perhaps not unlike people (as a whole)! We decided to cook Hilib AriIsku Duug (Braised Goat in Spices and Tomato). I have never tasted goat before so it will be interesting.


A journey to the Prahan Market (if you live in Melbourne, check it out) and I am equipped with goat shoulder (actually kid shoulder to be correct, although that sounds a bit like Hansel and Gretel). The meat was cooked with onion, garlic and water for over an hour. The spices and tomato were added and the meal was served with rice.

The goat is a very different sort of meat, perhaps somewhat like lamb shoulder however far more chewy then lamb. The sauce was actually quite nice.

وداعا
