Organ Meat Recipes

[0jack]

Does anyone have suggestions for preparing organ meats?  I love liver... lightly breaded and fried in butter with onions. <.<;;; *cough* 

While I'm happy to assign that into my 20% bucket, I'd rather find some new ways to prepare organ meats.  So y'all know, I will never eat tripe unless it's deep fried... preferably with some hot sauce for dipping.  I am too sensitive for kidneys.  

So, liver and heart?  I really do like liver when I'm low on iron.  I'd actually eat it raw if I could get it fresh and safe, but I'd eat any meat raw if I could get it fresh and safe.  I just ate a huge plate of it cooked, but as I said, soaked in milk and then dredged in starches.  I could try coconut flour?  What else?

The dogs are all for me eating more organ meats because they get the trimmed bits. *g*

One thing I love to do is meatballs with beef and beef liver - it's not a high ratio of liver, but you can adjust to taste. Just chop it up really well or grind it (more like, puree it! lol) and add to the ground beef. Adds a lot of flavor. I also use almond flour instead of bead crumbs; my meatballs are pretty dense but they taste fantastic!

I love liver and onions; again, I use almond flour to dredge it. I keep meaning to try coconut flour but I tend to be a creature of habit...

I know marksdailyapple had a couple of posts with recipes for organ meats that looked pretty good - do a search there I'm sure you'll find something!

Almond flour sounds good, too. I like to cook everything on a low heat if I can. With almond meal, I think I could get away with baking it instead of frying it, because the almond would crisp up on its own in the oven. I will try that with the rest of it!

I can roast the onion as well, which I adore. I ate three roasted onions the other day—I eat a pound of onion a week, I swear. I love sweet onion raw, too. It's like my latest obsession, along with brussels sprouts and kale.

Maybe I'll try ground heart with the beef in meatballs.

Just did the almond meal with some salt and pepper on the liver and roasted the liver as well as sweet onions, brushed with olive oil. I may never fry it again. I had to start the onions well in advance, but that's fine with me.
