Method

1. 1 Wash the suckling goat meat thoroughly, pat it dry, then rub it with coarse salt, pepper, and crushed garlic.
2. 2 Brush the meat with oil and orange juice, then let it marinate for 1 hour.
3. 3 Bake the meat in the oven at 180 degrees for about 2 hours, brushing it with the marinade every 30 minutes.
4. 4 Increase the temperature to 220 degrees and bake for another 15 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
5. 5 Tomatoes, onions, and peppers are roasted and then roughly pounded in a stone mortar to make salsa.
6. 6 Chop the meat into pieces and serve hot with salsa and tortillas.

With an appliance

• Charcoal grill 3 hr 30 min

  Replace steps 3-4: roast the goat meat on a charcoal grill with a small flame, 35 cm away from the charcoal, for 90 minutes, rotating every 15 minutes, then lowering the grill to 18 cm for another 10 minutes; the meat will have a more smoky flavor than the traditional method, but you must carefully monitor the charcoal and fat to prevent burning.
