Cabrito recipes?

[Vashner]

Anyone got good suggestion for smoking a Cabrito on Mesquite? As far as sauce / marinade.

I don't, but my aunt makes it every which way. Underground, on the grill, in the pot and in sauce. Man they all taste good. Don't know any of the recipes, sorry.

Cabrito Al Pastor ~ Grilled Kid ~ Baby Goat
From: THE TASTE OF MEXICO by Patricia Quintana, Stewart, Tabori & Chang, New York.

0-941434-89-3. Shared by: Karin Brewer, Cooking Echo, 3/93

Ingredients (8 servings)
2 kids (baby goats), 6 1/2 to 8 1/2 lbs each
3 tbsp salt
1 cup mild vinegar

For the garnish:
2 cup guacamole (recipe separate)
3 tbsp white onion, chopped
1 cup tomato, finely chopped
3 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
3 tbsp chile serranos, finely chopped
1 recipe Frijoles de Olla, mashed (Refritos)
1 1/2 c Mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese, freshly grated
16 Totopos (crisply fried tortilla wedges)

Instructions
From Nuevo Leon.
For the kid:

Put kids in a large stockpot, and cover with water. Add salt and vinegar. Set
aside for 2 hours. Meanwhile, build a pile of mesquite wood on the ground, and
burn down to white coals. Remove kids from water and thread on spits. Arrange
over the hot coals, and roast for 2 to 3 hours, depending on the kids' weight, basting
occasionally with a little salted water. Turn spits continuously so that the meat
cooks evenly, or use a rotisserie. Add more white coals if necessary. To serve,
cut kid in pieces, and place on plates. Garnish with guacamole, onion, tomato,
cilantro, and chiles. Serve with Frijoles de Olla sprinkled with cheese, totopos
(crispy fried tortilla wedges - flour ~ recipe ), and Pico de Gallo
sauce. The cabrito may be shredded and used in fried tacos.

Makes 8 servings.
