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
- 500g cooked potato, mashed
- 100g cooked carrot, roughly mashed
- 100g cooked swede, rough mashed
- 50g cooked cabbage, shredded
- 150g cooked gammon, finely diced
- 15g fresh parsley, finely chopped
- sea salt & cracked black pepper
- oil, for frying
- 4 eggs
- rocket, to serve
Method
- Place the potatoes, carrots, swede, cabbage and gammon all in a bowl. Sprinkle in the parsley and season generously before mixing all the ingredients together until thoroughly combined
- Divide the potato mixture into 8 equal-sized balls and gently press down to form patties approximately 6-7cm in diameter.
- Warm a little oil in a large frying pan until hot before adding half the patties, pressing down using a spatula to ensure the surface of the patties are touching the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes over a medium heat until crisp before carefully flipping and cooking on the second side for a further 2 -3 minutes.
- Transfer the patties onto a lined baking tray and place in a warm oven whilst you repeat with the second batch.
- Once all the patties are cooked and keeping warm in the oven, add a little more oil to the pan, turn up the heat and fry the eggs.
- To serve, place 2 patties per plate and top with a fried egg. Serve alongside a small green salad and season the egg with a little salt and pepper.
