4) Add the carrots, onions, and celery. Stir and allow to cook over medium heat for about 4 minutes to allow vegetables to slightly brown.
5) Add garlic, paprika, chili powder, fresh thyme, and fresh rosemary. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.
6) Next, deglaze the sauce pot with the red wine, reduce for 2 minutes and add back seared mutton, chicken stock and beef stock. Stir well and allow the stew to simmer on low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours until tender.
7) Add sausage balls back to the sauce pot and allow to simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes. Season the finished stew with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
