Ingredients:

• 1.5 kg boned leg of young goat
• 3 dag olive oil
• 3 dag butter
• 6 cloves of garlic, sliced into medium thin strips
• 1 heaped tsp dry marjoram
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 celery root, peeled and sliced
• 2 small carrots, sliced
• 3 small peeled tomatoes or 2 Tbsp tomato puree
• twig of rosemary
• pared peel of 1/4 orange
• 4 dl white wine
• juice of 1/2 orange

Using a thin sharp knife, pass the garlic slices into the meat. Rub the meat with salt, pepper and marjoram. Heat oil and butter in a casserole, cook the meat until browned on all sides. Add celery, carrots, tomatoes or tomato puree, rosemary, orange peel and wine, cover and stew until the meat is very tender, some 1.5 - 2 hours. Remove from heat and add the orange juice (do not boil the sauce once you've added the orange juice or it will turn bitter). Slice and arrange the meat on a heated serving dish, puree the sauce through a strainer and pour over the meat. Serve immediately.
