Why you will love our Butterflied Leg of Hogget...
- Great for open-Fire Cooking
- Relatively lean and full of flavour
- Easy to cook and carve
Our delicious, tender Butterflied leg of hogget is perfect for the BBQ. We remove the bones, butterfly the leg and then flatten it a little to make cooking over flame easier. Surprisingly quick and simple to cook, this boneless joint is a blank canvas for flavours so you can have some fun with your marinades: traditional rosemary and garlic; Moroccan style with ras al hanout, sumaq, coriander; Indian spices with cumin and yoghurt...
Our exceptional, local, heritage breed hogget is between 12-24 months old and has had the best part of two summers grazing on the wild flowers and grasses of this quiet corner of Suffolk. These lovely animals are shepherded by our enlightened sheep farmers who care deeply about their welfare and husbandry. The extra grazing time really does give hogget the most excellent flavour and unlike mutton it can be very tender, so doesn't always require such a low, long cook.
Because we are a whole-carcass butchery our pasture-fed hoggets arrive whole so we butcher on site, after the dry-aging process. We dry-hang our hogget for a minimum of 10 days. This helps to ensure the legs are tender and full of flavour. We send the bones with your leg too (great for stock!), or for your dogs (fine if given raw) if you'd like!

"Perfect for a marinade or a dry-rub, you can then barbeque, griddle or cook in the oven. A simple marinade of garlic, oregano and lemon zest is always fantastic. Or a paprika and cumin based rub works excellently with this. "
