PREPARATION

Heat the cooking oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and when hot enough, add the mutton. Sear the meat while peeling and chopping the vegetables. When the mutton is slightly seared, add chopped vegetables. Heat the vegetables for 5 minutes, add the rosemary or thyme sprigs, and pour the broth over the vegetables and meat.
