Offal & Stock Bones

Offal & Stock Bones

In general, society has become more accustomed to bland ingredients than we realise, and our food often lacks the fundamental nutrition our bodies so desperately require. Meals have become more about the ritual of consumption than about exploring new tastes, and fortifying our health.

Within the parameters of mass retail, offal is often referred to as being too strong or too rich, however these blessed bits and bobs have the power to restore food, from mere imitation, back to an authentic experience, as nature intended. Swaledale’s ethos of whole carcass butchery and nose to tail eating celebrates and embraces the unique character and distinct flavour of each ingredient.

More about Offal & Stock Bones

Offal brings a host of culinary possibilities to your kitchen; meals which could enter the domain of mundanity can spark fresh interest. A sandwich doesn’t sound like a culinary adventure, but what if it was a slice of lambs’ liver dusted with cumin-spiked seasoned flour, flash fried and served blushingly pink with a chopped salad and flatbread, or a corned ox tongue slowly simmered, and piled onto a bagel with horseradish and watercress. Offal gifts everyday dishes with more gravity, its magical presence imparting a gentle yet crucial flavour.

Bone broths, or stocks, provide essential body to dishes across global cuisines, from a Spanish paella to Vietnamese pho or a properly made gravy for a classic British roast. Trotters, a chef’s secret ingredient yet seldom used in the home, are an excellent addition to the stockpot, providing an extra dimension of gelatinous depth.
