Mutton, Roast

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Roast the mutton before the fire for better flavor.

  2. Baste the joint well with hot fat before starting to roast.

  3. Place the joint close to a clear, bright fire for 10 to 15 minutes to form a hard surface.

  4. Baste the joint almost constantly during the first few minutes, then at short intervals.

  5. Roasting time depends on the fire condition and the size of the joint.
