Bone In

Bone-in mutton leg keeps the bone for flavour and shape—the traditional feast roast of many mutton and game tables. It carries stronger mature sheep flavour with deep fat and spice affinity. Season deeply, roast or slow-cook by age of animal, rest, carve around the bone. Leftover bone fortifies stock.
