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 LAMB?
All of our organic lamb comes from free-range animals born and reared in our lush, sustainable West Country pastures. Many lambs are grown quickly, fed on grain to ‘finish’ them at speed, we believe that it’s better for animals to grow at the rate nature intended and lead active lives.
Ingredients
- 450g organic lamb neck fillets
- knob of butter
- 2-3 sprigs of rosemary
- salt and pepper, to season
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC
- Season the lamb with salt and pepper and place a large frying pan over a high heat. Once smoking hot, add the lamb fillet and cook all over until nicely browned on each side for approximately 2 minutes
- Add the butter and rosemary and allow the butter to melt and foam up. Use a spoon to baste the meat in the flavoured butter, then transfer to the oven and cook for 8 minutes to get your lamb neck fillets medium rare
- Remove from the oven and leave to rest in a warm place for 5 minutes before carving. Serve with potatoes and seasonal vegetables
