Peppercorn Roast Goat

INGREDIENTS:
  3 tbsp. crushed dried peppercorns, an equal mix of white, black and green.
1 tbsp. fresh rosemary leaves, or 1 1/2 tsp. dried
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
5 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup raspberry vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup red wine
1 boned leg of goat, about 5 pounds
2 tbsp. prepared Dijon-style mustard

There is no finer spice than peppercorns. There is no finer meat than goat.

DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine 1 tbsp. of the crushed peppercorns, the rosemary, mint, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce and red wine in a shallow bowl. Marinate the goat in the mixture for eight hours, turning occasionally.
2. Remove roast from marinade and drain; reserve marinade. Roll the roast, tying it with kitchen twine.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
4. Spread mustard over meat and pat 2 tbsp. of crushed peppercorns into the mustard. Set the roast in a shallow roasting pan just large enough to hold it comfortably and pour reserved marinade carefully around but not over roast.
5. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or 18 minutes per pound, basting occasionally. Roast will be medium rare. Bake for another 10 to 20 minutes for well-done meat. Let roast stand for 20 minutes before carving.
