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
- 3kg Organic Pork Bones
- 2 Onions, peeled and quartered
- 4 Spring Onions, chopped
- 2 Large Carrots, peeled and chopped
- 3 Celery sticks, roughly chopped
- 1 Whole Garlic Bulb, halved
- 1 Tsp Fennel Seeds
- 6 Bay Leaves
- Large Sprig Fresh Thyme
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1/2 Tsp Pepper
Method
- Preheat your oven to 200°C.
- Place your organic pork bones in a large roasting tray and season them well with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 40 minutes, turning once, until golden and caramelised.
- Using tongs, transfer your roasted bones to a large heavy-based pan.
- Pour off any excess fat from the roasting tray, then place the tray over a warm hob and add a glass of water. Deglaze your tray by stirring and scraping up the sticky bits from the bottom of the tray. Add this to your pan, along with your vegetables, peppercorns, fennel seeds, herbs and enough water to cover everything.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered for at least 3 hours. Top up with water throughout if necessary.
- Once cooked, strain through a fine sieve and leave to cool.
- Leave in the fridge to chill if consuming in the next 2-3 days, otherwise transfer to tubs/pouches and freeze.
- To serve, warm to a simmer on your hob, pour into a mug, and drink.
