WHO ARE THE ORGANIC BUTCHERY?
Starting life as an organic farm in the heart of the West Country, The Organic Butchery is proudly founded on a long history of organic principles. We source the best quality organic grass-fed and wild meats, sustainable fish and organic free-range poultry from trusted local suppliers and like-minded brands to guarantee the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Our mission is to approach butchery with a whole-carcass perspective, to make the most of every animal that crosses our blocks, which means we offer you cuts that you will never see on the supermarket shelves.
WHAT IS ORGANIC PORK?
We rear organic pigs that are a cross of traditional, native breeds. Reared outdoors, they have plenty of space to express their natural instincts - they love to wallow, rootle and forage in the grass for bugs. Growing our animals slowly ensures their meat has great flavour and texture, balanced by just the right amount of fat.
Ingredients
- 6 organic pork sausages
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 2 tsp white wine
- zest of 1 orange
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 3 cloves, Crushed
Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C fan
- Toast the cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg in a dry pan until they release their aromatic oils. Add the white wine to the hot pan (this will burn off the alcohol), throw in the orange zest then remove from the heat and stir in the honey and mustard. Make sure everything’s well combined
- Place the sausages in a deep baking tray, smothering them in the glaze. Cover with foil or greaseproof paper and bake for 10 minutes. As they cook, baste the sausages a couple of times to make sure they’re well covered in the sweet glaze
- After 10 minutes, remove the foil and bake for a further 5 minutes until the sausages are golden and sticky. You can check they're cooked through by using a meat thermometer. You’re looking for a core temperature above 62°C
