How do I cook mutton?
Something grown so slowly appreciates the same treatment in the kitchen. Overnight marinades, slow braises and long rests – the time to turn to your favourite low-and-slow recipes. Mutton can be a little more textured than lamb or hogget, but gently cooked it will provide a memorable, luxurious feast.
Fattened mutton will handle bold flavours (it makes a rather fantastic curry!) and it’s a good idea to add a zip of freshness at the end of cooking. A dollop of redcurrant jelly, a fruity pickle or dusting of lemon zest and fresh herbs, perhaps.
