Mutton Rib

Description

Mutton Rib

Mutton ribs, also known as lamb ribs, are a flavorful cut of meat that deserves more attention. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Definition and Composition:
   • Mutton ribs come from the neck or rib section of a sheep or older lamb.
   • They contain a mixture of fat and meat, making them rich and succulent.
2. Cooking Options:
   • Slow Cooking: Mutton ribs are perfect for slow cooking. They’re like tender meat surrounded and insulated by bone, which keeps them moist during cooking.
   • Versatility: Use mutton ribs in place of beef chuck, or other slow-cooking cuts. They work well in soups, stews, and curries.
3. Different Cuts:
   • Neck Roast: A whole neck on the bone, great for roasting, smoking, or slow cooking.
   • Neck Fillet: A long, slender cut resembling a filet, including part of the shoulder. Slow roast until fork-tender.
   • Neck Bones: Usually quartered, these bones are excellent for making curry lamb or goat if they have meat attached. If mostly bone, roast them for soup.
4. Taste and Texture:
   • Mutton neck doesn’t have a gamey taste. It’s similar to pot roast, pulled beef—just more flavorful.
   • When cooked properly, it’s tender and succulent.

Recipe Idea: Try a hearty Mutton Neck Curry with aromatic spices, tomatoes, and onions. Serve it with rice or bread for a comforting meal.
