Braised Goat Shoulder with Root Vegetables

• 3-4 lb goat shoulder, bone-in
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 cups beef or vegetable broth
• 1 cup red wine or water (optional)
• 2 sprigs thyme or rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste

Recipe Notes:  This braised goat shoulder is a hearty and flavorful dish, perfect for cozy family meals. Using the VAV GET Dutch oven locks in moisture, ensuring tender, juicy meat. Pair it with crusty bread or creamy mashed potatoes for a satisfying meal.

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
• Heat olive oil in the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the goat shoulder on all sides until browned.
• Remove the goat shoulder and set it aside. In the same pot, sauté the onions, carrots, and parsnips for about 5 minutes.
• Add broth, wine (if using), and thyme or rosemary. Stir well, then return the goat shoulder to the pot.
• Cover and braise in the oven for 3.5–4 hours or until the meat is fork-tender.
• Serve the goat shoulder with the root vegetables and flavorful broth.
