So I thought we could have mutton chops for tea tonight. The last couple of times I have cooked them, they have been quite dry..and I don't want them to do that again.
How would you cook them??? |

My Dad swears by boiling them - but then he boils everything  
I'd go with Susiec's idea and slow cook them!

| Generally with any 'tough' cuts of meat you want to stew 'em in some sort of gravy on a low heat over a number of hours to get them falling off the bone. |

definitely slow cooked. I haven't done it myself but my FIL has always said it's the only way to do it ------------- Lisa mummy to Ryan http://www.alterna-tickers.com">

would put them in the oven with gravy and onions (even mushrooms and mixed vegies) and cook them on low (round 150) for around an hour - check them and another half hour if needed. i do this with Lamb chops and sure mutton would be the same ------------- http://lilypie.com">

long and slow would be the recommended cooking method for mutton chops, as they can get a bit tough - either in the slow cooker or on a low heat in the oven for a few hours ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

They're in the oven at the moment on 140....so really low. Hopefully this will work. Next time I will try the gravy and veges in the slow cooker - anything except onions!!! I think we have some mushrooms though which I might add....
DH loves mutton...I have a roast to do at some stage as well...and it's nice and cheap!! |

Mutton really does best cooked long and slow....I haven't done chops but the last time I did a mutton roast I cooked it at least 4 hours really low and it was great. -------------

I do them in the slow cooker on low all day. I marinade them in an Indian recipe my SIL gave me and a small amount of water. After being in there so long (9-10 hours), they are falling apart - YUM! -------------  My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

I cook mutton on a rack sitting in water, (rack keeps them out of the water) so they moisture keeps the chops etc form drying out. And at about 150 degs. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |
