Grass Fed Mutton Whole Leg (Boneless)
Pack Weight: 3kg
Taken from flocks of free ranging sheep of over a year old, this traditional mutton makes for delicious roasts, having grazed on wild grasses, herbs, and flowers to inform the rich meat. Ours mature slowly, at their own pace, on the heather that grows on the tops. This gives the meat a sweet as well as robust and almost herbal flavour. Boned and rolled for easy carving this joint is a fantastic introduction to mutton.
Not so long ago butchers rarely touched mutton, now it is appearing again on our menus. Our farmers often struggle to sell their older animals, and instead rely on their lamb flocks so the fact that they are increasingly in demand from dedicated Carnivores is great!
Treat this cut as they do venison in the South West of France, cooking long and slow in red wine, for aromatic, rich feasts, serving with vegetables, juniper, and peppercorns.
Serves at least 10 people.
