6 Tricks to Cook Goat Meat to Keep It Fresh and Odorless

Dream - Indonesia is famous for its many delicious dishes, one of which is goat meat dishes.

Goat meat is known to have a distinctive aroma called "prengus" odor. This odor comes from the fat and moisture in the meat.

Therefore, to produce tasty goat meat dishes, you need to know tips and tricks for cooking it.

Here are some things that Dream friends need to know before cooking goat meat.

1. Cut against the grain

The main cause of the "prengus" odor in goat meat is the moisture content in the meat. To overcome this, Dream friends need to cut the meat properly, which is against the grain.

Incorrect cutting direction can cause the moisture to be retained longer and produce odor.

2. Remove the fat

The first thing to do when cooking goat meat is to remove the fat. To remove the lingering "prengus" odor, you can remove a small amount of fat or reduce the moisture content in the goat meat.

3. Do not wash the meat

Many people believe that the "prengus" odor can be eliminated by washing the meat with water.

Actually, to clean goat meat, simply use a clean cloth or tissue. This method is more effective in cleaning and reducing the odor that sticks to the meat.

4. Add salt and spices during marination

Adding salt during the marination process can also help reduce the moisture content in the meat. The marination process is usually done for 2-3 hours on fresh meat.

In addition to salt, Dream friends can add strong-flavored spices or seasonings such as garlic or powdered coriander to reduce the "prengus" odor.

5. Soak in milk or vinegar

If the goat meat is not going to be cooked immediately, so there is no need for marination, there is an alternative way to eliminate the "prengus" odor. Dream friends can soak the goat meat in milk or vinegar.

6. Store in the refrigerator/freezer

If Dream friends want to store goat meat for a longer time, it is best to place it in the refrigerator at a temperature of five degrees Celsius or lower.

Usually, goat meat can last for 3-5 days. But if you want the goat meat to last even longer, store it in the freezer at a temperature of minus 15 degrees Celsius or lower.
