  • Place all the ingredients for the onion stock in a large casserole dish with cold water, bring to the boil and simmer until the onions are soft.
  • Soak the split peas in water for 2 hours. Drain and cook with four times the amount of water and the roasted half onion, skimming off the foam regularly. Once the peas are cooked, blend with olive oil until smooth and season with salt, pepper and thinly grated lemon zest.
  • Blanch the fresh peas in salted water and rinse in salted ice water.
  • Remove the pieces of cartilage and silver skin from the goat meat and cut into approx. 200-gram pieces. Salt and flour them well. In a heavy-based frying pan, brown all over in a mixture of olive oil and butter, gradually adding more butter and frying until golden brown on all sides. Add the pieces of meat to the onions, pour off the fat from the frying pan and deglaze with red wine. Allow the alcohol to boil away briefly and add the remaining wine to the meat and onions.
  • Dry roast the cumin seeds until they give off an aroma and add to the casserole. Add the tomato purée, fennel seeds, celery and carrot, cover with hot water and simmer for about 4 hours. Check in between with a fork or skewer whether the pieces of meat are cooked.
  • Remove the meat from the sauce, clean off any spices etc. and cover and keep warm. Strain the sauce and reduce over a high heat to a thick consistency; season to taste and return the pieces of meat to the reduced sauce.
  • Serve with the reheated blanched green peas and herbs; warm the pea puree and serve.

Wine tip

Collio Rosso Riserva DOC 2013 - 94 Falstaff points
Borgo del Tiglio

Dense, sparkling ruby with a slightly brightening rim. Sparkling on the palate, compact, shows juicy fruit, then opens up with hearty tannins, firm and gripping, emphasized spicy notes on the finish.
