Hogget Recipes
6 RecipesThis collection brings together hogget recipes from Swaledale’s chefs and contributors, covering chops, leg, shoulder and other cuts from sheep older than lamb but younger than mutton.
Hogget has a little more depth of flavour than lamb while remaining tender, so it works well across quick cooking, roasting and slower braises. The recipes here are specifically centred on hogget; for younger or more mature sheep, browse our separate Lamb Recipes and Mutton Recipes collections.
