This variation elevates the classic East African roasted goat with a bold coffee and spice rub that pays homage to the region's coffee culture. The slight bitterness of the coffee balances the rich, gamey flavor of the meat, creating a dark, smoky crust that is absolutely irresistible.
In a small bowl, combine the ground coffee, smoked paprika, brown sugar, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the dry rub.
Pat the goat ribs dry with paper towels and coat them evenly with the vegetable oil.
Generously apply the spice rub over the meat, pressing it in to adhere. Let the meat sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your grill or oven to 325°F (160°C). If using a grill, set it up for indirect heat.
Cook the goat ribs over indirect heat or in the oven for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the meat is tender and pulling away from the bone.
Increase the heat to high or turn on the broiler for the last 5 minutes to crisp up the exterior and caramelize the sugar in the rub.
Remove from heat and let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve hot with fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the top.
