Mutton is very popular in the East.
Many tasty dishes are prepared from this nutritious, wholesome meat.

Mutton in a slow cooker - basic principles of cooking
Before you start cooking dishes from lamb in a slow cooker, the meat must be properly prepared. It is thoroughly washed. This is done only in warm water, as cold you can not wash away all the dirt from the layer of fat. Then cut the film, tendons and excess fat.
If you simmer lamb, take a piece of meat with a thin layer of fat, so the dish will turn out juicy and tender. The soup will turn out to be nourishing and tastier if for this you take lamb on the bone.
You can stew lamb in a slow cooker with any vegetables or legumes. Prepared meat is cut into small pieces and spread in a multicooker container. Cook, stirring constantly, in “frying” mode, until the meat is browned. Then, peeled and chopped vegetables are added to it and they continue cooking by switching the appliance to quenching mode.
To dry the dish, add tomato paste, sour cream or mayonnaise.
