Mutton, Roast
Ingredients
Directions
Roast the mutton before the fire for better flavor.
Baste the mutton well with hot fat before starting to roast.
Place the mutton close to a clear, bright fire for 10 to 15 minutes to form a hard surface layer.
Baste the joint almost constantly during the first few minutes, then at short intervals.
Adjust roasting time based on fire condition and joint size.
