Method
- 1
Mix the paprika, vinegar, garlic, half the oil, salt and pepper into a thick paste. Rub it over the goat in a large dish. Leave for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the fridge.
- 2
Heat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan). Put the goat in a deep roasting tin with the bay leaves and wine, and cover tightly with foil. Roast for 2 hours.
120 min - 3
Meanwhile, soften the onions in the remaining oil for 10 minutes, then add the tomato and cook for 5 minutes. Set aside.
- 4
Lift the goat onto a plate. Pour the tin juices into a jug and skim off most of the fat. Make up to 600 ml with water and keep hot.
- 5
Tip the onion mixture and rice into the tin and pour over the hot liquid. Season with a little salt. Nestle the goat on top.
- 6
Return to the oven uncovered, turn it up to 190°C (170°C fan) and bake for 35 minutes, until the rice has absorbed the liquid and the meat is golden.
35 min - 7
Rest for 10 minutes, scatter with parsley and serve from the tin.
