English Translation

Ingredients:

1 whole mutton leg
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, diced
2 slices of bacon, diced
300ml red wine
350ml lamb stock
freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
100g soft prunes, pitted
1 tbsp heather honey

Method:

With a sharp knife, make six deep slashes in the mutton. Mix together the thyme and garlic then press this mixture into the cuts.

Heat the olive oil in the base of a large roasting tin (one with a lid). When hot add the mutton leg and turn it to brown evenly all over. Remove the meat from the tin and set aside on a plate.

Add the onion, carrot and bacon to the tin and fry for 5 minutes until they are beginning to soften.

Return the mutton to the pan and pour over the red wine and stock. Season to taste with black pepper and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover the tin with a lid before transferring to an oven pre-heated to 150°C. Roast slowly for between 4 and 5 hours, or until the meat is very tender.

Remove any fat from the surface of the stock in the tin then add the prunes. Spread the honey over the meat before increasing the oven temperature to 220°C. Return the tin to the oven and cook uncovered, for 20 minutes more.

Remove the meat from the tine and allow to rest, covered with kitchen foil. Turn the prune sauce into a sauce boat and serve to accompany the meat.
