Roast Saddle of Mutton

Ingredients

• 1 joint saddle of mutton

Instructions

1. Ensure the butcher has raised the skin from the saddle and skewered it back on before roasting.
2. Position the joint at sufficient distance from the fire to prevent the fat from burning.
3. Roast with constant basting throughout.
4. Less than half an hour before the mutton is done, remove the skin from the joint.
5. Baste the joint well and flour it lightly.
6. Continue roasting until the fat is delicately browned and the meat is cooked through.
