About the dish

Chivo lechal Malagueño is a traditional dish originating from Malaga. The main ingredient is suckling goat (usually shoulder and leg) that's raised in the Malaga province and has juicy and tender flesh. Other ingredients include lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, wine, thyme, oregano, and salt. The pieces of suckling goat meat are placed into an earthenware baking dish and they are seasoned with the spices and garlic. The meat should be left to marinate for 12 hours before it's drizzled with olive oil and baked for about an hour. Every 15 minutes, the meat is basted with a mixture of water, lemon juice, and wine. Once done, the tender meat is served with a few potatoes or zucchini on the side.
