TALLOW

Not really a recipe today but one that needs to be shared for those who haven’t experienced this gem of a food.

Tallow
Tallow is a rich source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), an essential nutrient with anti-inflammatory properties. Grass-fed tallow is also rich in fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. 

Used in cooking and skincare this nourishing food deserves a comeback not least because it contains essential fats for our health ( including our hormonal balance!!) but it has many uses around the house. It’s a local food that we need to embrace again! Please do check it out!
 
Beef suet does not look appetising in its original state. But its really good value to make into tallow and use for cooking.

Chop it into small pieces and melt in an oven proof dish. Strain through a metal sieve and cool.
Oven chips cooked with tallow and served with sea salt… you will thank me..!
