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 BONE & BROTH
We make use of every part of the carcass - right down to the bones. They are an amazing resource, packed full of vitamins, collagen and health-giving fats. Our broth is expertly made by the Borough Broth Co. using organic ingredients and their own special technique to extract the best flavour from British carcasses.
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa (any colour, rinsed thoroughly and drained)
- 330ml organic chicken bone broth
- 1/2 cup / 120ml filtered water
- fresh parsley, for garnishing
- toasted almond flakes, for garnishing
- dried fruit, for garnishing
Method
- Put all contents in a pan and place on a high heat until it comes to a boil
- Reduce heat to a simmer for around 10-15 minutes. Scrape the sides on occasion to ensure all quinoa is cooked
- Once all the liquid has evaporated, turn the heat off and place a lid on the pan. Leave for five minutes. This allows the quinoa to steam and pop
- After five minutes give the pot a good shake with the lid on and you should have perfectly fluffy, sticky chicken quinoa
- This can be set aside for cold salads and a little goes a long way. Normally the portion of quinoa doubles in size. Garnish with fresh parsley, toasted almond flakes and dried fruit if you want to go for a couscous style dish but really it’s delicious just as it is

Frequently asked questions
-
a great way to start feeling the benefits of broth is to incorporate it into your daily routine, as part of a balanced diet. Broth can form the base of a delicious soup, cooked stew or Bolognese or even a hot drink inbetween mealtimes. Boost its nutritional value even further by adding grains, lentils, pulses, spices and herbs.
-
There is some evidence to suggest anti-inflammatory qualities of chicken broth for sinus and respiratory infections, as well as some evidence to suggest bone broth also helps the lining of the gut, aid joints, muscles and bones as well as overall skin, hair and nail health due to the collagen within. Bone broth is a healthy addition to a balanced diet - research indicates that it’s the protein in broth that’s the main advantage to our health. This protein is broken down into collagen which promotes elasticity for firm smooth skin and glycine and glutamine which both promote a healthy immune system and gut lining. Adding vegetables towards to the end of the cooking time is a great way to increase its minerals and vitamin content.
-
Organic bone broth is made by simmering the bones and connective tissue of organic animals, the broth can then be drank from a mug on its own or used to make soups, sauces or gravies. Whilst drinking bone broth has become popular as a health hack in recent times, the use of broth actually dates back to prehistoric times, when hunter-gatherers turned otherwise inedible animal parts like bones, hooves and knuckles into a broth they could drink. At Coombe Farm Organic we're proud to sell Borough Broth Co bone broths. Slow cooked to a secret recipe using organic bones, pure spring water, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and plenty of care and attention, these broths taste deeply delicious and are a great way to keep your gut happy.
