Roast Dorset rose veal sweet bread Purple sprouting, confit lemon, veal jus

Sam Moody shares a dish from his current menu for The Staff Canteen Live 2014.

The Dish is off our carte, sweet breads come on and off the menu all year round.

Also it’s great to use bits from the whole animal, if we have veal loin on the lunch menu, on a busy week we might sell 5 or 6 middles, it’s import to think about using up the rest of the animal as well, including the offal.
