Ingredients

  •  pepper flakes fresh chopped
  •  pepper flakes fresh red such as anaheim or hungarian wax, chopped
  • bunch flat parsley 
  • inches ginger fresh peeled chopped
  •  garlic clove crushed peeled
  • pounds yogurt bone-in
  • 0.3 cup olive oil canned (the best you can afford)
  • tablespoons sea salt 

Equipment

  • mortar and pestle

Directions

  1. THE DAY BEFORE
  2. Use a mortar and pestle to pound the chilies, ginger, garlic, and parsley with the salt to a coarse paste, pounding each ingredient thoroughly before adding the next.
  3. Add the olive oil, pounding again to form a pretty smooth paste.
  4. Rub the goat shoulder with the chili paste and refrigerate, covered, for 24 hours.
  5. THAT DAY
  6. Preheat a smoker (see Headnote above).
  7. Place the goat shoulder in the smoker (reserving any leftover marinade) and let it ride for about 3 hours. Keep an eye on the temperature, stoke your fire, and drink a Scotch. Occasionally baste the goat with the leftover marinade. After 3 hours, periodically jiggle the leg. When it gives you the sense that if you pulled just a bit harder you could tear it from the joint, it's ready, but it'll probably take another 3 to 4 hours.
  8. Serve it straight away on a platter and tear into with your hands.
