What is mutton? Mutton is meat from a mature sheep (typically over two years old), as opposed to lamb, which comes from a young animal. The extra age gives mutton a deeper, richer, more savoury flavour and a firmer texture — which is why it's prized for slow cooking. It's a traditional British cut that's become hard to find, and a staple of Caribbean, African, Middle Eastern and South Asian cooking.

Lamb vs mutton Lamb is tender and mild; mutton is richer, more robust and benefits from long, slow cooking. Where you might roast lamb quickly, a leg of mutton rewards low-and-slow roasting or braising until meltingly tender. If you love deep, full-bodied flavour, mutton delivers it.

How to cook a leg of mutton A leg of mutton is best cooked low and slow. Season and sear, then roast or braise gently with stock and aromatics until tender — mutton needs longer than lamb to become meltingly soft.
