To slow cook your mutton shoulder, start by preheating your oven to 210°C. Place your mutton shoulder in a roasting dish with some shallots and season well with salt and pepper. Roast the shoulder for 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and lower the heat to 150°C. Add some dry white wine, lamb stock, bay, cinnamon, star aniseand some honey for sweetness. Cover with foil and place back in the oven for 4 hrs till the meat starts to fall apart.

Remove the meat and reduce the sauce till thick and viscous. Pour over the meat and place back in a 180°C oven till caramelised and glazed.

All our meat is delivered frozen.

We deliver it to you in insulated sustainable wool packaging that can keep it frozen for 72hrs. When you receive your meat please put it straight in the freezer. Even if it has defrosted it is ok to put back in the freezer as long as it is not warm.

We deliver it frozen for a number of critical reasons:

• Natures preservative. Freezing is one of the most ancient of all methods of preservation. We firmly believe that when frozen rapidly there is no loss of quality in the meat.

• Sustainability. By freezing our meat we can ensure there is as close to zero waste as possible. Our meat is frozen as soon as it is butchered in protective packaging that allows us to keep the meat perfectly for over a year. This is vs 10 days for fresh.

• Seasonality. Like vegetables, meat has a season. By freezing our meat we can select our produce when it is at its very best. Fresh meat butchers cannot do this and you can taste the difference in our meat.

• Better supporting farmers. For our farmers it is most profitable for them to get the produce off the farm as soon as it is ready. This allows us to support them better.
