Lamb Tongue

Lamb tongue is a delicious cut when cooked correctly. Like beef tongue, lamb tongue requires a slow cooking method, such as braising or stewing, but can then be thinly sliced and pan fried for a crispier texture. Tongue has a rich and fatty taste that pairs well with sharp and bright flavors like vinegars, mustards, and pickles. Lamb tongue can also be used as a taco filling, as in tacos de lengua.

Our lamb is raised on pasture without hormones or antibiotics. Our sheep flock is made up primarily of the Dorset breed, a heritage breed that originated in Britain. From May to November, we intensively manage our flock in a rotational grazing system across our pastures. This allows the animals to have access to the best quality grasses, while fertilizing our fields with manure and providing an adequate rest period for plant regrowth. During the winter months the flock is brought into the barn where they are fed hay and have access to the outdoor barnyard at all times.
