Mother’s Day 2022

Roast Rib of Beef, Slow Roast Beef, Most Popular Roast, James Whelan Butchers Rib of Beef

Roast Rib of Beef, one of our most popular joints, perfect for slow roasting and with roasting on the bone it is so full of flavour.

Mother’s Day is one of the highlights of our year, a day when we honour our own mothers, grandmothers and in this era of blended families – we honour step mothers and other strong female influences in our lives.

Traditionally on this day, mothers and mother figures are treated with cards, flowers and other thoughtful gifts and here at James Whelan Butchers we love to celebrate with great food.

For people planning a big family gathering, we always say that you just can’t go wrong with Rib of Beef on the Bone. It’s one of our most popular joints, perfect for slow roasting and with roasting on the bone it is so full of flavours. Often called the Roast of Roasts, here is our own step by step guide – and an important tip here is to allow the meat to rest and relax after cooking before slicing and serving as it improves the flavour and juiciness – plus it makes it so much easier to carve.

And our friends and customers would be well aware that we never recommend a roast without our famous JWB Beef Dripping Roast Potatoes – in our humble opinion these are the best roast potatoes you will ever have!

 

Rack of Iberico Pork, Easy to Cook Pork Roast, James Whelan Butchers Iberico Rack of Pork, Artisan Rack of Pork

Iberico Rack of Pork, this very special meat is native to the Iberian Peninsula, which has an incredible luxurious flavour and tenderness.

Viva Espana for Mother’s Day!

Another favourite roast of ours, which is perfect for Mother’s Day or any special Sunday is our award winning Iberico Rack of Pork. This very unique pork is native to the Iberian Peninsula, where the pigs are allowed to roam free in oak forests and enjoy a diet of herbs, grasses and cereals. This gives the pork an incredible luxurious flavour and tenderness. It’s so easy to prepare and serve and never fails to impress. You will be the apple of your mother’s eye preparing this dish on Mother’s Day. And speaking of apples – our trick here is to place a cooking apple or two underneath the meat during cooking. Again something that we always celebrate – great food that is so simple, yet full of goodness and flavour.

Our recommendation would be to leave the preparation to your trusted butcher, leaving more time to relax and enjoy this special day.
