Mutton Recipes
7 RecipesThis collection brings together mutton recipes from Swaledale’s chefs and contributors, from slow-roast shoulder and leg to curries, pies, stews and other long-cooked dishes.
Mutton has a deeper, fuller flavour than lamb and generally benefits from slower cooking. Shoulder, leg and diced cuts respond especially well to braising, roasting and spiced dishes where time allows the meat to become tender. For younger sheep, browse our separate Lamb Recipes and Hogget Recipes collections.
