Hi guys made this up the other day and it turned out really nice .

1kg leg of mutton boneless chopped 2 inch
0.5 kg mutton leg on the bone chopped

1 large onion
2 spring onions [scallion]
1 red bell pepper
1.5 scotch bonnet hot pepper or other
4 tsp curry powder , madras , curry goat , or other all heaped tsp
1tsp all purpose seasoning optional
1 flat tsp ground black pepper
0.5 tsp dried chopped thyme

so at this point its a basic curry mutton jamaican style

for the fusion add
2 tsp coriander powder [cellentro]
1 tsp ground cumin powder
1 flat tsp turmeric powder
0.5 tsp fennel seeds
and a handful of coriander leaves
5 cloves garlic crushed
ginger half the amount of the crushed garlic
just under 1 inch of cinnamon stick

roughly chop every thing up and then mix all the ingredients together .
rub it all into the meat cover and leave in the fridge over night


next day turn the oven onto 170 c need to convert to f. get the meat out the fridge and with a fork or blunt side of knife scrape all the ingredients off the meat .and keep them to one side


place the meat onto a baking tray and brown the meat for 15 minutes turning once .
then pour out the liquid and separate the oil and discard


then get your slow cooker and put every thing in it . including the juice saved from the baking tray .
then i use about just under half cup of water if not less and rinse out the marinating bowl and baking tray then add the water to the pot .

i set my slow cooker on high . it only slightly bubbles at this temp hardly a bubble here and there . you can use heavy pan and lid on the hob on the smallest ring on the lowest setting if you dont have a slow cooker ,

but slow cooker is best if you are not used to making curry .

then cook for about 6 hours or till the meat is soft and falling of the bone and the meat has not gone to fluffy .stirring once or twice

at this point you can add 1 flat tbs tomato puree and one tbs of chopped tinned tomatoes add this just before the meat is cooked .I DID NOT ADD THE TOMATOES TO THIS DISH . just chose not to this time

with out the tomatoes its a bit more traditional indian Bangladeshi and jamaican type , to much tomato will spoil the slow cooked flavour

you may need to mix some corn flour in some water if you added to much water at the start . if using a pan add the half cup of water



you want a little bit of gravy this is all about the meat not a slurry of gravy .

check for seasoning and job done really easy and tasty
ive been eating this for 2 days now and froze the rest . so yummy you got to try it.
sorry for got to take pics of it all plated up . i had pilou rice but can go with rice and peas its all good .

enjoy . please try this and let me know what you think . if you dont have or cant get these ingredients i can offer some alternatives

This sounds really nice, Ganja b. Unfortunate that we can't buy mutton stateside. People just don't know about it, how good it is. Lamb is great, but quite expensive. Maybe I can do some oxtails or some such. Lamb shoulder would be nice if I could find that. Thanks for sharing.

oxtails would work to , thing is lamb doesnt need as much cooking time , so its harder to get the gravy thick and it tends to dry out to much , mutton once cooked goes really soft and has more texture , i often hear people in the us talk about mutton being strong smelling , well it smells no stronger than lamb really ,

goat is better , just a thought you could get a lamb shank and make some slits in it marinate it over night and slow cook it ,dont know why i never thought of this before lol , may have to adjust a few things though ill try it out and let you know how it went
