Reestit Mutton and Tattie Soup

Hi folks. I have a special recipe printout courtesy of Matthew from Shetland.

You can view the full size by clicking the picture.

Reestit is salted mutton and mutton is a sheep that is over 3 years old, Matthew tells me.

This is a recipe that is traditional to his region. Shetland is one of 32 council areas of Scotland. It is an archipelago to the north-east of Orkney and mainland Scotland, with a total area of approximately 1466 km². It forms part of the division between the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the North Sea to the east. You can learn more about Shetland from his website where you will find many lovely photographs.

Thanks Matthew for sharing this recipe.
