I cooked mutton for 12th night for His Majesty (and 12-13 guests at head 
table), and all we did was baste it with garlic, candied ginger, and red 
wine (as the rosemary is right out).  I then deboned it and froze it.

On site it was broken apart from large masses, basted lightly with a little 
beef broth to make sure it stayed moist.

For such a simple dish it got some huge raves.

The feast was for 150, I cooked 26 chickens, 16 pork roasts, and about 2 
entire sheep.  There was a bit left over, and amazingly, there wasn't much 
of the mutton at all.

Btw, i hear that pomegranate chicken is just "out" these days. During his 
last reign he was served it six times in a month. (That poor dear).

Cheers,
Maggie MacD.
Only moderately sane after doing the 12th night in Caid.
