Chine, or Saddle of Mutton Roasted, with Pickles

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point. The book gives no cooking times either; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

Prepare

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Season the mutton with salt and pepper.

Roast and serve

  1. Roast the mutton in the oven until cooked to your liking, about 1.5 to 2 hours.

  2. Serve with pickles on the side.
