Cabrito more widespread These days, you can get cabrito in more restaurants than Jenni's ref would lead you to believe, but it is true that the piece is from not such a young animal, so we need the lechal to emphasise that it's a tiny wee thing that the cutlets come from - the meat will be very pale. It isn't necessarily still suckling, but should have been milk-fed. In contrast, the roast cabrito you get in good "hornos de asar" will be a reasonably sized piece and the meat will be darker, although still not v dark.
