What each ingredient does
- Mutton
- Forms the main meat; its lean texture is tenderized and flavored by the marinade.
- Lean bacon
- Larding adds fat and moisture to the lean mutton as it roasts.
The step that matters
Soaking the mutton in the marinade. Mutton from a lean cut dries out easily, so the two-hour soak must fully coat the pieces to add flavor and help keep them moist during roasting.
