Instructions

1

Prepare Chimichurri Rub

10 minutes

Mix all dry ingredients. Work with olive oil and a little red wine vinegar into a spreadable paste and distribute evenly on the goat meat.

2

Marinating

6-12 hours

Cover the rubbed meat and marinate in the refrigerator for 6-12 hours. Acclimatize at room temperature for 30 minutes before smoking.

3

Smoking

5-7 hours

Preheat smoker to 120-135 °C with cherry and apple wood chips. Smoke the meat indirectly until a core temperature of 85-90 °C. Turn every 90 minutes.

Pro Tip

Use fresh parsley instead of dried – the green of the herbs stays juicier and more aromatic under the smoke bark.
