Mutton shoulder
Mutton Shoulder (Halal, with bone) is a protein-rich red meat sourced from sheep over 2 years of age, distinguishing it from lamb, which comes from animals under one year. Mutton is celebrated for its nutritional value, offering a significant source of zinc, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B2, and vitamin B12. It’s consumed in various cultures worldwide, from New Zealand to the Middle East and Europe, valued for its rich vitamins B3 that positively affect metabolism and brain functions.
Nutritional Benefits:
- Rich in Trace Elements: Mutton provides essential trace elements like iron, magnesium, and zinc, crucial during pregnancy and child growth for the development of muscular and cognitive functions.
- Vitamins and Minerals: It’s an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, supporting overall health but is sometimes high in saturated fatty acids. To mitigate this, it’s recommended to degrease the meat before preparation and opt for lean cuts.
Cooking Recommendations:
- Lean Cuts: Favor lean cuts such as leg and fat-free chops, liver, or kidneys, and consider pairing your dish with antioxidant-rich vegetables.
- Healthy Fats: Season with olive oil rich in monounsaturated fatty acids to counterbalance the saturated fatty acids in the meat.
Cultural Significance:
The sheep, symbolizing love, happiness, and sacrifice across major religions, is a gentle and peaceful animal with a debated origin. It’s raised globally for its meat, milk, wool, and skin, playing a vital role in various cultures and economies.
