Ingredients:
For the Mutton Shoulder:
- 2 pounds boneless mutton shoulder
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Tomato and Olive Sauce:
- 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup capers

Instructions:
For Preparing the Mutton Shoulder:
- In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, fresh thyme leaves, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Rub the boneless mutton shoulder with the marinade mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Slow Cooking with Tomato and Olive Sauce:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a bit of olive oil and sear the marinated boneless pasture-fed mutton shoulder on all sides until it develops a golden-brown crust.
- Remove the mutton shoulder from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add diced tomatoes, Kalamata olives, capers, and chopped fresh basil. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Return the seared boneless pasture-fed mutton shoulder to the skillet, nestling it into the tomato and olive mixture.
- Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Slow-cook the mutton shoulder for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until it becomes tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving with the flavorful tomato and olive sauce.
