Equipment
- Wood fire grill
- 1 Tongs
- 1 small baking sheet for seasoning the meat
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb 8 goat loin chops 2 per person
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
- Oil for the grill, as needed
Garnishes
- Highbush cranberry tkemali sauce
- Fresh greens, like watercress roughly 4-6 ounces
- Sliced radishes
- 1 cup Freshly made or high quality hummus, at room temperature
- Fresh mint leaves, to garnish
Instructions
- For the goat chops, season the goat chops on both sides with salt and pepper and allow to rest overnight in the fridge, uncovered.
- To cook the chops, start a wood fire, then grill them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until about 135-140 F depending on your preference. Cook 1.5-2 minutes on each side for medium rare. Allow the chops to rest for 3-4 minutes in a warm place while you assemble the plates.
- Put a large spoonful of hummus off-center on each of four dinner plates, then arrange the chops attractively in the middle. Toss the fresh greens and radishes with salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon juice to taste, as well as a few torn leaves of fresh mint.
- Drizzle a thread of olive oil over each chop, along with some of the tkemali around the sides and serve.

Notes
The tkemali sauce is just an idea. It's fine to serve them with a drizzle of olive oil and a lemon wedge instead.
