Braised mutton in brown sauce for winter

Braised mutton in Wuzhen is a reddish brown dish with a good aftertaste. The choice of materials for this dish is fastidious. The mutton comes from a specially chosen kind of sheep that is soft and low in fat. They also look for sheep that has thin and smooth skin.

This dish is perfect for the winter in Wuzhen. It tastes crispy, sweet and a little bit spicy. This slow-cooked, oriental style stew goes well with plain steamed rice. While Wuzhen residents cook the lamb outdoors during winter, visitors will find an appetizing lamb banquet along the old street.
