Five Great Specials......

We have five great specials that we will be offering through December 15th. Special #1: Berkshire pork chops. These chops are rich in color with the perfect amount of marbling to create one of the most tender and flavorful chops you'll ever try. Purchase as a rib roast or as single or double cut bone-in pork chop. Special #2: Tuscano Sausage. This is a combination of veal and pork mixed with roasted red peppers, feta and seasonings. This one is great alone or sliced-up a top a pasta dish. Special #3: Ginger Soy marinated Flank Steak: This leaner cut has great flavor especially when grilled or broiled with our ginger soy marinade. This marinade will produce a slightly sweet flavor with a bit of spice and will grill or broil to a crispy outside with a recommended rare to medium rare center. Special #4: Wild Boar Rack: Wait a minute...did you see that price?? $19.99/lb!! These frenched racks are extremely full flavored and lean and best when prepared over high heat. Racks are averaging 4lbs pounds each, although sizes can vary significantly (generally become larger in the winter months). Also we are happy to portion for those who don't need a whole rack. Special #5: Day-Boat U-12 Sea Scallops: These scallops are dry-packed because they are extremely fresh and don't need a preservative to prolong their shelf life. These tasty scallops are easy to prepare and sure to please.

These specials are good until December 15th when we release the new ones.

Featured special of the week.....

Fresh chorizo. While we get many request for different types of sausages we could not resist introducing this sausage on Cinco de Mayo. Made fresh in our store in small batches this sausage has a very distinguishable flavor. This weeks sausages will resemble more of a Mexican or Carribean style chorizo rather than a Spanish style. Serve these sausages sliced as an appetizer, add to a soup or stew, or spice up your breakfast with a chorizo and egg recipe.

What makes the Lamb Top Round unique?

It's the most tender piece of the lamb leg. This small roast is approximately one and half to two pounds and is very tender with great flavor. You can roast it whole, butterfly it for the grill, or cut it against the grain into steaks. This is a versatile, sleeper cut, that is sure to please. Add flavor with our house marinade or use one of the following recipes.

Lamb Burgers!!

Our featured special this week is our Organic Butcher lamb burgers. Freshly ground lamb with garlic, mint, feta and a few of our house spices. This burger is sure to be a hit for the lamb lovers. Cook to medium rare (3-5 minutes per side) and serve on your favorite bun or in a pita with yogurt sauce. Or if you'd like to create your own lamb burger we'd be happy to grind some lamb for you.

Berkshire Pork Chops Special......

This week we are featuring our popular Berkshire pork. Our Berkshire pork is humanely raised on an all vegetarian diet, with no antibiotics or hormones. One taste and you'll see why this breed of pork is a favorite among our customers. It is the perfect combination of juiciness, flavor and tenderness. Otherwise known as the "black pig" the unparalleled taste of Berkshire pork is the perfect choice for everything from ham to chops.

The Organic Butcher Meatloaf....

This week's featured item is the Organic Butcher's very own meatloaf. This mixture of beef, veal and pork with added spices is the perfect comfort food. Just like mom made it, this is sure to be a hit with the whole family. These are approximately 2lb each and come with an aluminum pan to cook in. Cook for 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes at 350 degrees and it's ready to eat.

Wild Boar Specials.......

This week we've added a new product to our wild game offerings - wild boar strip. This lean, yet tasty cut will be on special along with our increasingly popular boneless wild boar shoulder. Our wild boar is truly wild and feeds off lush woodlands and pastures with a natural diet of grass, roots, nuts, fruits, acorns and grains. This is a tender meat with a rich and nutty flavor. The shoulder is great for a stew, ragout or to throw on the smoker. The loin can be cut into strip steaks for the grill or roasted whole. Either cuts a winner.

Featured special of the week.....

"Dry" sea scallops are on special this week. Unlike wet sea scallops dry sea scallops have not been treated with a sodium solution which makes them appear plumper and gives them a longer shelf-life. We find these sweet and tender scallops to be best when simply seared quickly. They should only need a few minutes a side. The outside will be brown and crispy while the inside remains tender. Of course you could always whip up a quick sauce to pour over them after they are seared. Or for a few recipe ideas click here.

Save big on ribeyes...

This week's special is a delicious organic boneless ribeye steak. If you buy two we will be offering the second one at half off. This is a terrific deal for these exceptional steaks. For those who are in the mood for a little kick we will also be selling these steaks marinated in a spicy chipotle sauce.

Stew Beef Special

Featured Special of the Week:

Beef shanks are on special this week, at $4.99/lb. If you've never tried them, they're a great slow-cooking cut, and the perfect alternative to the pricier veal osso buco. The shank is cut across the bone, in roughly 1-2" thick pieces, and the bone with its marrow is essential in adding flavor to the beef. These meaty cuts are also enhanced by the presence of connective tissue, which is ultimately dissolved into a flavorful sauce to finish the dish. We recommend this recipe as a traditional way to prepare this perfect winter comfort meal. Give this cut a try for its outstanding value and taste, and let us know what you think!

Stocking up for the winter?
