Leg of Mutton Peasant Style

Ingredients

• 1 leg of mutton
• 1 clove garlic
• salt pork or lard (tocino)
• salt
• pepper
• white beans (alubias)
• potatoes
• caldo (broth)

Instructions

1. Remove the bone from the cavity of the leg of mutton. Rub the meat all over with a clove of garlic.
2. In a heavy pot or cazuela (earthenware cooking vessel), sauté the leg with chopped salt pork until it begins to color. Season with salt and pepper.
3. When the meat is halfway cooked, transfer it to a round vessel. Moisten it with the cooking liquid (its juices).
4. Arrange the pre-cooked white beans in a layer around the leg of mutton. On top of the beans, lay the peeled raw potatoes, seasoned with salt and pepper.
5. Cover everything with broth (caldo), bring to a boil, then cover the pot and let simmer until the meat and vegetables are completely tender and cooked through.
