Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Return the browned mutton to the pot. Add the chopped tomatoes and diced potato, stirring to combine.

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring that all the ingredients are covered. Add salt and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until the mutton is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Check for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and a wedge of lemon on the side.
