Do You Cook with Organ Meats? – POTG Test Kitchen

The experts say that we should all be consuming more organ meats. We are told our ancestors ate organ meats and that they were often saved to be served on special occasions. In some cultures pregnant women were served organ meats, in others they were saved for the hunters and warriors. Why is that you ask? Because they are loaded with vitamins and nutrients, much more than the muscle meat we are used to consuming. Think about it; in the wild when one animal attacks and eats another they often go straight for the gut to gain access to the organs. Makes sense right?

In todays society organ meats tend to have a yuck factor in the eyes of some people. If you are following a Keto lifestyle then organs meats are an essential ingredient in your diet. Packed with protein, nutrients and vitamins they are a superfood. Chef Ann worked in the POTG Test Kitchen to come up with some recipes for you to try. What do you think, can you move beyond the yuck factor?

KETO/AIP Grilled Marinated Beef Heart Over Portabello Mushrooms

Since the heart is technically a muscle, its flavor is more like meat that we’re used to. In fact, some call it the steakiest steak they’ve ever eaten. Prepared correctly you might even be able to serve it to your guest without them knowing exactly what it is! A 4 oz serving of beef heart has only 127 calories, 4 grams of fat and 20 grams of protein.

KETO/AIP Beef Kidney Stew with Mushrooms and Bacon

Kidney is known to have a pretty strong flavor that deters most from eating it. Chef Ann developed this kidney stew adding other strong flavors to help mask what for some can be the over powering taste of the kidney. Onions and mushrooms help with that as does the bacon, because you know everything is better with bacon. A 3.5 oz portion of kidney has approximately 135 calories, 4 grams of fat and 20 grams of protein.
