Default Cabrito asado

http://www.texasmonthly.com/story/menu-cabrito

For more than twenty years, the central Texas town of Brady has staged
the World Championship Barbeque Goat Cook-off on Labor Day weekend.
Cabrito is a delicacy that has its ardent admirers€”and many detractors.
To those who have failed to see the merit in a crunchy yet tender piece
of goat meat, the blame must be placed squarely on the way its been
cooked and on the fact that the goat you got probably wasnt a
ten-to-eighteen-pound, suckling kid slaughtered at thirty to forty days
of age. Older goat is often passed off as cabrito, but once they start
browsing on grass, goats develop an unmistakable mutton flavor. They are
also tough. The best time to get real cabrito is May through October.
After October, you should be skeptical.

Cooking your own cabrito can be real simple€”if you want to dig a hole in
your backyard, as purists insist. All you need is a three-foot-deep pit
with a mesquite or oak fire raging in it. Wrap a skinned cabrito in a
gunnysack bound with wire and set the meat in the pit. Cover it with
dirt to seal in the heat and let it cook all day. The cabrito will be
smoke-seasoned and tender by nightfall.
