Gordon Ramsay made this delicious mutton stew on the show, the F word. The stew looked delicious and as per the people present there, tasted marvelous as well. Gordon Ramsay’s Mutton Stew is made with a combination of mutton, vegetables, spices, tomato puree, herbs, flour, and oil. Wine is also an unexpected addition to the stew.

According to Ramsay, mutton is more cost-efficient than lamb and is also tastier. The thing is, mutton is a bit tougher than lamb, so it needs more cooking time. But the extra cooking time works as an advantage as it makes the stew richer in flavor.
To make Gordon Ramsay’s mutton stew, coat the mutton with flour and salt and then cook it in a pot. Take it out and add onions to the pot. Then, add other vegetables, herbs, and spices.
