Mutton

Mutton refers to the meat from mature sheep, typically over one year old. It has a richer, stronger flavor compared to lamb, which comes from younger sheep. The meat is often tougher due to the age of the animal but becomes tender with slow cooking methods like braising or stewing. Mutton is popular in various cuisines worldwide and is valued for its robust taste and nutritional content, including high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals. It is usually available in cuts such as shoulder, leg, or chops, and its preparation varies based on regional culinary traditions.
