INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 5 pounds bone-in mutton shoulder or leg, cut into 1 pound pieces
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cups medium salsa
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup hickory smoke flavored barbeque sauce
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can green beans, drained
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen lima beans, thawed
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen okra
  • 1 (46 fluid ounce) can tomato juice

DIRECTIONS

  1. Day one: In a large heavy stockpot, add meat and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon salt, Italian seasoning, and enough water to completely cover meat. Simmer over medium heat for 1 hour.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove meat from stock; refrigerate stock for later use. Debone meat, discard bones, and place meat in a roasting pan. Roast meat for 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven or until tender when pierced with a fork. Cover pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate.
  3. Day two: Remove stock from refrigerator; skim off and discard top layer of hardened white fat. Pour 4 cups of stock into a heavy stockpot; add potatoes, carrots, 1 can of crushed tomatoes, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook vegetable mixture over medium-high heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly and refrigerate.
  4. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion. Cook and stir until onion is transparent, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside. Remove meat from refrigerator and add remaining stock to pan. Cover the roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil.
  5. Cook meat for 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven. Remove the meat from the oven and pour in the salsa, onion, tomato sauce, brown sugar, barbecue sauce, and 1 can crushed tomatoes. Continue roasting for another 1 1/2 hours. Cool slightly and refrigerate overnight.
  6. Day three: In a large Dutch oven portable roaster or large stock pot, combine meat with the vegetable mixture from the day before, corn, green beans, lima beans, okra, and tomato juice. Cook for 3 hours at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) if using a roaster, or if using a stock pot, simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
