OK we confess that this isn’t actually our own recipe. But give us busy farmers a break! We can’t always make it to the pub for our burger fix, and what would you do if it were 5 o clock,

Ham in Hay

A quick one from our St. Patrick’s day dinner- The ham ends up with a wonderful sort of light floral flavor and scent, and made a nice contrast to the hearty beer braised beef stew we had also! Instead of

plated poule

Poule au pot (one pot chicken)

I love one pot meals, they are easy to prepare and easy to clean-up. That doesn’t mean it can’t be delicious and this classic French chicken dish is a great way to showcase a well-raised, flavorful bird. I also made a great soup from the left-overs.

chili with grass-fed beef and vegetables

Chili with Grass-fed Beef and Garden Vegetables

Chili, everyone has their favorite recipe, and this one is ours. Lots of vegetables from the garden and grass-fed beef added to these wonderful spices makes a great dish for serving a crowd. It also freezes well for those nights when you come in tired from lambing and calving and haven’t got the energy to cook.

grass-fed burgers

Basic Grass-fed Burger

If you indulge in only one cut of grass-fed beef, let it be ground beef. There are many reasons why, but the most important one here is flavor!

Beef shin braised in Guinness

Neil Perry’s Shin of Beef Braised in Guinness

This recipe was one of our beef shin tastings, easy to prepare, nothing complicated let the braising do the magic. It can also be made ahead and may even be better for being made a day before and reheated.

Melt in the mount shin of beef with root vegetable mash

Jamie Oliver’s ‘melt in the mouth’ beef shin

A recipe from Jamie Oliver that we used as one of the comparisons in the beef shin tasting. Really delicious and not difficult to make. Make it a day ahead and reheat when you need it so the flavors are even more developed.

quiche lorraine

Quiche Lorraine

I like quiche as the quintessential leftovers dish – its great to improvise with whatever you’ve got in the pantry, and it makes great leftovers. You can even be flexible with the pie tin size, or bake it in a casserole dish. The only requirement, really, is that you start with good eggs.

Shin of beef

Shin of beef tasting

Last week the cut in question was beef shin or osso bucco so I decided to work on two recipes. This would give us the opportunity to compare two preparations at once, tough work but someone has to do it!
