Mutton, Roast

Ingredients

Directions

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

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

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

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

  5. Adjust roasting time based on fire condition and joint size.
