Curry mutton
Tender cubes of mutton are slowly cooked with red wine, fragrant garlic, and a warming blend of cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and caraway. Lemon thyme and fresh cilantro infuse the rich sauce with bright herbal notes. Serve this deep, aromatic curry hot alongside steamed rice or warm flatbread.
