Mutton - Offal
« on: August 03, 2015, 10:16:08 pm »
We dispatched a fantastic ewe today (2-3yrs old).  We've got the offal here I cant seam to find any information on the eating quality of offal - is it good? Simple dishes like liver and bacon? Hope you can let me know Ta

Liver and heart used in "Paprikash" (Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall's "Meat" Book), or just simply fried liver with slow-fried onion&apple (and new potatoes or good mash later in the year).  You can use the heart in a stew later (freeze now). I use the lungs for the dog (cooked and frozen in portions), and I have to confess I really don't like the kidneys, so the dog gets those too.

We use all our offal, we use the livers and cook with mash. Lungs and heart go to our dogs and kidneys go in a stew. Great to have no waste. When we do our goat offal we make pate from the liver, it's lovely

Thanks for your replies - Do I assume you both mean mutton not lamb. I can find loads of info on lamb but little on the eating qualities of Mutton offal.

I've never noticed any difference in the taste between the too.
