Cabrito

Cabritos

Cabrito (Spanish: [kaˈβɾito] ⓘ) is the name in both Spanish and Portuguese for roast goat kid in various Iberian and Latin American cuisines.

Argentina

Cabrito is eaten in the Córdoba Province in Argentina, especially the town of Quilino, which has a festival in its honour. "Chivito" differs from "cabrito" in that chivito is a slightly older animal with less tender meat. The chivito has already begun to eat solid foods, whereas the cabrito is still a suckling.

Mexico

It is also associated with the city of Monterrey, Mexico, and the surrounding state of Nuevo Leon, based on the Spanish cuisine of the founders of the city.

In northern Mexico and South Texas cabrito is cooked in a variety of ways:

Portugal and Brazil

In Portuguese, the name cabrito is used for a goat kid (not just roasted) in Northeast Region, Brazil, especially in the Sertão Nordestino and in Portugal. The goat being about 3 months old is slow-cooked over a charcoal fire for about eight hours, turning it every 15-20 minutes. In certain parts of Portugal, cabrito dishes are traditionally served on special ceremonies, namely on weddings and Christmas.

United States

Goat is little eaten in the United States, due to a reputation of the animals as dirty and for the odour released during the mating season. Cabrito, eaten in Tex-Mex versions along the Rio Grande border are a rare exception. In the US, cabrito is produced in various methods of barbecue. The name is also used by goat herders for a range of products they make from their animals, including sausages and jerky.
