About Our Goat Head (Cleaned)
A goat head, cleaned and ready for the pot, is the base of one of Kenya's great delicacies: a rich, restorative head soup. There is more good eating on it than people expect - the cheeks, the tongue, the meat around the jaw - all of which turn meltingly tender over a long simmer, while the bones give the broth a body and depth you cannot get any other way.
We clean and split it so it is ready to cook. It wants time: a long, gentle simmer with plenty of aromatics until the meat can be picked from the bone, then a well-seasoned, peppery broth. For the rest of a traditional slow spread, our goat trotters and goat matumbo belong on the same table.
How to Cook Goat Head (Cleaned)
- Blanch first and discard the water, then simmer with onion, ginger, garlic and dhania.
- Give it two to three hours, until the cheek and jaw meat pulls away easily.
- Pick all the meat off the bone back into the broth.
- Season the soup hard - plenty of black pepper, chilli and lemon.
- Serve very hot, traditionally in the morning.

Yes, and at no extra charge - it is the whole point of buying from a butcher rather than a chiller cabinet.

Three to four days in the coldest part of the fridge, loosely covered so the surface dries rather than sweats. To freeze, portion into meal sizes, press flat, wrap tightly and label. Thaw overnight in the fridge, never on the counter, and do not refreeze thawed raw meat.
