Neck

Goat neck is economical, bony, and collagen-rich—the cut that turns thrifty stewpots into gelatinous, flavour-packed meals. Meat between vertebrae shreds after long cooking; bones enrich the broth. Essential for many Caribbean, African, and South Asian goat dishes. Brown large pieces, cover with liquid and spice, and cook until meat falls from the bone. Neck alone makes stock. Plan yield around bone weight.
