This recipe has been lovingly created for Kilduff Farm by Tony and Cat of The Foraging Goat.
Tony and Cat Tavener are the husband-and-wife team behind The Foraging Goat, a new artisan greengrocer and larder in Haddington, East Lothian. Their aim is to forage the local area for the best produce on offer and create their own collection of ketchups, preserves, pies, take-home meals and much more. Bursting with creativity and a real zeal for flavour, Tony and Cat are truly imaginative when it comes to cooking. We have been fortunate to work closely with them, creating a very special collaboration and producing a delicious range of products made from produce grown on the farm.
