Boiled Mutton with Caper Sauce
A classic Parsi-style mutton dish featuring a tender, whole cut of goat meat simmered until succulent. The rich broth is transformed into a velvety, buttery white sauce spiked with tangy capers, Worcestershire sauce, and onion juice for a sophisticated finish. This elegant main course offers a delightful contrast between the savory meat and the piquant, creamy gravy, best served piping hot.
Instructions
- 1Soak the mutton in water for 1 hour. Cut off the scrag (the thin end of the neck). Place the mutton in a stewpan with 3 quarts of water.
- 2As soon as the water boils, skim well. Then, simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
- 3Cut the best end of the mutton into cutlets, dividing it with 2 bones in each. Take off nearly all fat before putting it into the broth. Skim the moment the meat boils, and every 10 minutes afterwards. Add the carrots, turnips, and onions, all cut into 2 or 3 pieces.
- 4Put the prepared vegetables into the soup soon enough to be thoroughly cooked. Stir in the Scotch barley. Add salt to taste. Let all stew together for 3 1/4 hours.
- 5About 1/4 an hour before serving, put in the chopped parsley and serve.
