Ingredients:

Serving

2 fresh hind legs of goat
4 cloves of garlic
1 cup fresh mint leaves
2 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup virgin olive oil
sea salt
4 lemons peeled and sliced very thin
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
2 bunches arugula, washed and spun dry
1 cup blanched almonds
1/2 cup green olive pesto (see basic recipe )
1 tbsp hot red pepper flakes
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

Light barbecue or grill.
Rinse and pat dry goat legs.
In a blender, mix garlic, mint leaves, pepper and olive oil until smooth paste is formed. Rub paste all over both legs and season with salt. Place on barbecue and cook, turning frequently, until pink at bone, about 45 minutes
Meanwhile, prepare lemon salad by mixing lemons, extra virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground pepper in a large mixing bowl. Allow to stand at room temperature until ready to serve with meat. In a blender, mix almonds, green olive pesto, hot pepper flakes, orange juice and olive oil until smooth and thick. Remove and set aside.
When goat is cooked, remove from grill to allow to rest for 10 minutes. Toss arugula with lemon salad and arrange on platter. Carve goat into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange on platter. Drizzle with almond pesto and serve.
