Two tablespoons of fresh rosemary leaves

Instructions:


Start by cleaning the goat meat and cutting it into small pieces. Remove any excess fat and bones.

Crush the fresh rosemary leaves using a mortar and pestle. Alternatively, you can chop the rosemary finely using a knife.

Rub the crushed rosemary leaves onto the goat meat. Ensure that the goat meat is well coated with rosemary.

Your preference for salting the meat should be paramount. You can add some lemon juice to the goat meat for a different taste.

The meat should marinade for at least an hour. Cover it with cling film or a cover. It will enable the salt and rosemary flavours to meld with the meat.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Grease the baking tray with vegetable oil and place the marinated meat on the tray.

Roast the meat in the oven for about 45 minutes or until it is well-cooked. You can also grill the meat on a charcoal grill for a more authentic taste.


After the meat has finished cooking, take it out of the oven or grill and rest.

Serve the Nyama Choma hot with some chopped onions and tomatoes on the side.

In conclusion, making a perfect rosemary Nyama Choma at home is straightforward. Following the above instructions, you can enjoy a delicious and flavorful Kenyan dish that will impress your family and friends.
