Minced Mutton 500g

Heritage Breed Minced Mutton – Rich, Flavourful and Versatile
Coarsely minced* with just the right amount of fat for depth and succulence, Swaledale’s heritage breed minced mutton is a richly flavoured, versatile alternative to minced lamb. Its robust, savoury character transforms everyday meals — ideal for quick midweek dishes or slow-cooked favourites alike.

Infuse with Middle Eastern spices for fragrant koftas served with flatbreads and cooling yogurt, or use as the base for shepherd’s pie, keema, moussaka, or rich pasta sauces — wherever bold flavour is called for.

Chef Val Warner inspires:
"For those who like their lamb lambier, mutton is a fuller tasting, deeper and fattier joy that with a little more concentration in attaining the certainly of tenderness is seeing an overdue comeback. More fibrous in texture when cooking whole a long slow cook is best. The mince is very flavourful and does more than well in a samosa with peas and strong spices.

Mixed with heart, liver, kidneys and oats and wrapped in caul fat or cabbage and given a long cook in onion gravy this is a cold whether triumph.

I love minced mutton in a pie with leeks or pies with stout and candied fruit also beneath crisp sugared and peppered pastry."

*We also offer a full range of heritage breed mince, including minced lamb, minced beef, and minced pork — each with its own distinctive character and culinary versatility. For something a little different, minced venison is also available when in season, offering a leaner, game-rich option perfect for rustic pies, ragùs, and slow braises.
