Here's a simple recipe for grilling or barbecuing mutton

Grilling and barbecuing mutton is a fantastic way to infuse it with smoky flavors while keeping it tender and juicy. Here's a simple recipe for grilling or barbecuing mutton:

Ingredients:

- 1 kg mutton pieces (you can use chops, cubes, or skewers)

- 2 tablespoons yogurt

- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

- 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste

- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

- 1 teaspoon ground coriander

- 1 teaspoon garam masala

- 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)

- Salt to taste

Vegetable oil for basting

- Skewers (if making kebabs)

Instructions

1. **Marinate the Mutton:**

    - In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt to make the marinade.

    - Add the mutton pieces to the marinade and coat them well. Ensure that each piece is evenly coated with the marinade.

    - Cover the bowl and refrigerate the marinated mutton for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

2. **Prepare the Grill or Barbecue:**

    - Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

3. **Skewer the Mutton (if making kebabs):**

    - If you're making kebabs, thread the marinated mutton pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

4. **Grill or Barbecue the Mutton:**

    - Place the mutton skewers or pieces directly onto the preheated grill or barbecue.

    - Cook the mutton for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have developed a nice charred exterior.

    - Use tongs to turn the mutton pieces occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent them from burning.

5. **Baste with Oil (optional):**

    - While grilling or barbecuing, you can baste the mutton pieces with a little vegetable oil using a brush. This helps keep the meat moist and adds flavor.

6. **Check for Doneness:**

    - To check if the mutton is done, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. It should register at least 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.

7. **Rest and Serve:**

    - Once the mutton is cooked to your desired doneness, remove it from the grill or barbecue and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

    - Serve the grilled or barbecued mutton hot with your favorite side dishes, sauces, and accompaniments.

Enjoy your flavorful and tender grilled or barbecued mutton as a delicious main course or appetizer!
