How To Make: Hearty Mutton Stew

There is nothing like the rich aroma of a good old-fashioned stew bubbling on the stove to chase away the winter chill. Apart from being a nourishing and economical dish, this delicious mutton stew recipe is easy to make and bound to become a family favourite.

There is one secret ingredient though…Time. But the end result is well worth the hour it takes to cook this one-pot meal of mutton and humble vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and onion. Cooked in a rich and savory sauce with a hint of garlic and rosemary, this is comfort food at its best.

Serve this classic cold-weather dish with steaming white rice, creamy mashed potatoes or some crusty bread to mop up the leftover bits in the bowl.

CHEF’S TIP:

• Mutton Stew improves in flavour if made at least 1 day ahead. Refrigerate (covered once cool) for up to 5 days. Reheat (covered) over medium heat.
