Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker Introduction & Inspiration This homemade Bone Broth is so wonderfully jiggly and delicious! Bone Broth is rich in minerals that build and strengthen your bones and contains many healthy nutrients, including vitamins, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time 3.5 hours Serving Size 2 x Jars of Bone Broth (1910ml Bone Broth in total) 110g Bone Broth Fat Main Ingredients: 1950g Bones (280g Oxtail Bones, 1140g Marrow Bones, 530g Long Marrow bones) 2 litres Water Recipe Instructions Remove all the bones from your fridge or freezer and place them in your Pressure Cooker Container. Add enough water to cover the ingredients. Place the Pressure Cooker lid on, and set to 'Seal'. Use the LOW pressure cooker setting and cook for 3.5 hours. Once the cooking time has ended, remove the bones from the container with a slotted spoon into a bowl, and then strain the broth into large enough glass jars (I tend to sterilise them with hot water first). Provided you have a good, thick layer of fat that has solidified on top of the liquid, then you can keep it in the fridge for a couple of weeks. If you don’t have a good fat layer on top (or you are using it in another recipe), bone broth will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge or it can be stored in the freezer. Tips I tend to add salt once the broth is made, and depending on what I am using the broth for in my recipes. By not salting the broth during the cooking process, you are free to add salt as required, if it's needed so that you don't have dishes that are too salty. Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. The pressure cooker method helps produce broth that ends up like jelly once it has cooled. The fat layer that will form on the top of the broth as the broth cools, can be scooped off the broth and used as fat to accompany another meal, or in a different cooking recipe - check out my Bone Broth and Parma Ham Mayonnaise recipe for instructions on how to make this. If you are going to freeze your bone broth, make sure your jars are freezer safe and always freeze broth for 24 hours without the lid first to prevent the jars from cracking. Video

Add the sardines to a high speed blender along with all remaining ingredients. Blend until the mixture is nice and smooth. Pour the mixture into your Halloween silicone mould trays. Place the mould trays on a baking tray and place in the oven for 16 minutes. Once cooked, remove the tray and allow the sponges to cool down for a few minutes. Once cool enough to touch, remove the mini Halloween sponge from their moulds. If you're not using the sponges straightaway, simply allow them to cool completely before adding them to an airtight container and storing them in the fridge. Happy Halloween! Tips Fish should be organic and/or wild-caught. Be sure to use free range, organic eggs. Check out my sponge base recipes on the website using the Recipe Search feature to try out other versions of mini sponges, including with veal heart, beef tripe, pulled pork etc. Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Be sure to use free range, organic eggs. Whether you can eat eggs may depend on your condition, medical history, the time you have been doing PKD and your health goals.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Tasty Lamb, Kidney and Crackling Burger Patties Introduction & Inspiration These burger patties taste delicious and are so nutrient dense too! They are a breeze to make, and taste wonderful on my flat bottom lamb muffins. Give them a go. You'll see what I mean! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x Tasty Lamb, Kidney and Crackling Burger Patties (9cm diameter) Main Ingredients: 150g Lamb Shoulder 65g Lamb Kidney 28g Beef Crackling (represents 45g fat) 30g Tallow Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Chop the lamb, kidney, tallow and beef crackling into smallish cubes. Add the ingredients to a mini blender along with some salt. Blend briefly until all the ingredients are well combined, but avoid over blending. Place a pastry circle (or burger patty circle) on top of a piece of greaseproof paper. Add half of the patty mixture from the blender into the circle. Use a spoon or burger patty press, to press the patty mixture down into a nice burger patty shape. Carefully remove the circle from around the patty. Repeat the above step, to make the second burger patty. Add the burger patties to a large shallow dish (to retain the cooking juices), placed on baking tray. If you're not cooking your burger patties straightaway, place the patties in an airtight container in the fridge, otherwise go ahead and cook the patties in the oven until cooked to your liking. Drizzle your burger patties with the cooking juices*. Enjoy! Tips Depending on how fatty your lamb shoulder meat is, adjust the extra fat added accordingly for a good PKD ratio. Ideally, purchase your meat, fat and offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate tasty lamb, kidney and crackling burger patties into various dishes. *The burger patties cook up really well in the oven or in the air fryer (less cooking time is required). Some fat will be rendered during the cooking process so be sure to pour the juices over your burger patties at the end to retain a good PKD ratio. If you are eating the patties on burger buns, then instead of consuming liquid fat (if you have an issue with this), simply reserve this fat for another recipe and add some extra beef crackling to the tops of your burgers to retain a good PKD ratio. If you don't have any beef crackling available, then simply use pork back fat, lard, tallow, bone marrow or another animal fat to ensure a good PKD ratio of meat to fat. If you are new to eating kidney, it's extremely mild. While you get used to the flavour, you can simply add slightly more lamb and less kidney if need be. Honestly though, it's very difficult to detect in the burger patties. Video Not Available Yet....

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Crispy Sautéed Sweetbreads Served On A Flat Bottom Sweetbread Muffin Introduction & Inspiration Prepare to savour the delicate flavours and unique texture of crispy sautéed sweetbreads served on a beef and sweetbread muffin. Sweetbreads are a gourmet experience and an excellent nutritional source. With a creamy yet crisp texture, this dish promises to be a memorable addition to your culinary repertoire. I hope you'll enjoy this one. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 1 x Crispy S autéed Sweetbreads Served On A Flat Bottom Sweetbread Muffin Main Ingredients: 1 x Flat Bottom Beef and Sweetbread Muffin 110g Prepared Sweetbread 100g Oxtail Cooking Juices/Jelly Oxtail Fat for Frying Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Prepare the sweetbread as per the recipe instructions. Ensure your sweetbread is nice and dry. Pat it with a paper towel if necessary. In a large pan, heat the tallow or lard over medium-high heat. Add the sweetbread. When the fat has melted, sprinkle the sweetbread with a little salt before adding to the centre of the hot pan. Use a splash or splatter guard to cover the frying pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, basting your sweetbread from time to time. While your sweetbread is cooking, pour the oxtail cooking juices and a pinch of salt into a pan on medium-high heat. As the temperature increases, the cooking juices will start to reduce down over several minutes. Stir from time to time, to see how thick your sauce is becoming. Perform a quick taste test to see if the sauce has the intensity you're looking for. (The more the water has been boiled off and the liquid reduced down, the great the flavour profile of the sauce will be). Once you are happy with the sauce consistency, carefully pour the oxtail sauce from the pan into a serving jug ready for use. Turn the sweetbread over with a kitchen tong, baste it with the hot oil and then add the splatter guard back on top of the frying pan. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes until the sweetbread becomes golden brown and crisp. Transfer the cooked sweetbread to a wooden chopping board to rest for a few minutes, before slicing. Warm up your muffin on a serving plate, before adding the slices of sweetbread on top of the muffin using kitchen tongs. Add a sprinkle of salt over the sweetbreads and drizzle with the hot sauce. Enjoy! Tips Check out my Preparing Sweetbreads recipe for instructions on how to prep your sweetbreads. If you like this recipe why not check out my Crispy Sautéed Sweetbreads Served With A Beef Cheek Sauce. The sweetbreads are perishable and so when you get them, cook them as soon as possible. The sweetbreads shouldn't be pink inside, it should be cooked in the centre. The soaking and pressing process helps draw out all of the blood and impurities. Ideally, purchase your offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate sweetbreads into various dishes. Fun fact: The name sweetbreads? Well, they are sweet because they taste richer and sweeter compared to typical meat, and they are bread because the old English word for flesh is bræd. Fun fact: Sweetbreads were once very commonplace, especially in the 1700s and 1800s. Fried, breaded sweetbreads were commonly used as a garnish for meat dishes. These days, they're more expensive and rare than they were back then, so they're treated as a delicacy and usually served on their own. Video Not Available Yet....

Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Tripe Bread Introduction & Inspiration This may seem somewhat strange as a bread option, but it actually works really well! It has a great PKD ratio, a very neutral taste and if anything has a certain creaminess to it. The texture is good and the bread crisps up really well in a pan while remaining sturdy. The colour is nice and golden, with a good crust layer on top. Why not give this one a try!

Place all the ingredients, except the egg yolk, into a pan on low heat. Cook for a few minutes until all the tallow has melted and the beef tripe is warm. Pour the contents of the pan into a high speed blender, add the egg yolk sauce to the blender and blend everything until the mixture is smooth. Grease a small loaf tin and then place a piece of greaseproof paper to line the base of the tin with the excess covering the sides and sticking slightly out of the tin (this will make it easier to remove the loaf after cooking). Pour contents of the blender container into the loaf tin with the help of a spatula. Use the spatula to smooth off the top of the loaf. Place the loaf tin on a baking tray and place in the pre-heated oven for 40 minutes. Once, done, brown the top of the loaf for 5-10 minutes to have a slight golden finish to it. Keep an eye on the loaf to ensure it doesn't burn! Remove the loaf tin from the oven, use a pastry brush to brush the top of the loaf with a little tallow. Allow the loaf to rest on the countertop to cool. If you are not going to be eating the tripe bread straightaway, store in an airtight container in the fridge. Tips Ideally, purchase your fat and offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Be sure to use free range, organic eggs for the egg yolk sauce. Whether you can eat eggs may depend on your condition, medical history, the time you have been doing PKD and your health goals.

Served either at room temperature or slightly chilled, this variation departs from the traditional recipe by omitting egg yolk.

Cut the beef fillet into thin strips, and then cut the strips into small cubes. Place the beef cubes into a bowl and reserve in the fridge. Remove the bowl from the freezer and add the beef. Next add some salt. Use a spatula to give the ingredients a good mix up. Drain the soaked bone marrow, pat dry, then push the marrow out of the centre of the bone. Slice this into small cubes. Add the cubes to the bowl and stir in with the beef. Now, add the creamy sauce dip to the bowl and give the mixture a good stir. Perform a quick taste test to see if any additional seasoning is required. Place a pastry circle in the centre of a serving plate. Around the circle you can scatter a few fresh parsley leaves and radish quarters for decoration (optional). Add the beef tartare mixture to the pastry circle and press down to level the mixture out. Carefully remove the pastry circle from around the beef and place a parsley leaf on top for decoration. Your beef tartare - PKD Style is ready to serve! Tips Serve the Beef Tartare immediately while it's nice and cold. You can briefly refrigerate to get a slight chill, but only for about 15 minutes before you eat. Slice the beef as quickly as possible (being careful obviously!) to ensure the meat remains nice and cold. Ideally, purchase your meat and fat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives.

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Brains - Poached Introduction & Inspiration Brains are a very nutrient dense ingredient, however they may be off-putting initially and so a key way to introduce them into your diet is by disguising them. Using them in various recipes including dressings, creamy dessert sauces, mayonnaises and even ice cream, can be a great way to overcome the initial reticence associated with using them. Poaching the brains in water allows them to retain their creamy texture and will make cooking or frying them a little easier as they will become a little firmer as well. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Up to 30 Minutes* Serving Size 166g Lamb Brains - Poached Main Ingredients: 170g Lamb Brains Salt Recipe Instructions Gently rinse the brains under running water to remove any bone fragments and remove as much of the outer membrane as you can. Soak the brains for 30 minutes in water and some salt to get the blood out. Now drain off the water and fill with clean water and salt and allow to soak a further 30 minutes. The water should run clear. This helps the brains keep a light colour. Drain off the water and place the brains in a pan of fresh water and bring the water to a boil, before turning down to a simmer (not boiling). Cook for 15 minutes until the brains have firmed up. Allow the brains to cool in the liquid. Check for membranes which will look like a cloudy veil, and if there are any, try and peel them off. If you are going to use the brains straightaway then you can pat them dry with a paper towel. Otherwise, reserve the cooking liquid as you may use this to store brains if needed (up to two days). Your poached brains are now ready! Tips Brains are extremely perishable, so purchase them as fresh as possible and aim to use them within 24 hours. Ideally, purchase your meat and offal from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate Brains - Poached into various dishes. After cooking, the brains end up tasting reminiscent of a firm ricotta, or another mild cheese. They blend nicely into the background and make a nutrient dense breakfast for the PKD and offal enthusiast. Brains are a very nutrient dense ingredient, however they may be off-putting initially and so a key way to introduce them into your diet is by disguising them. Using them in a creamy dessert sauce can be a great way to overcome the initial reticence associated with using them. Poaching the brains in water allows them to retain their creamy texture and will make cooking or frying them a little easier as they will become a little firmer. *You can poach various type of brains using the exact same method. The only thing to change slightly is the cooking time. Poach pig or calf brains for 20 minutes and beef brains for 30 minutes. Video Not Available Yet....

Regime Type: PKD (With Allowances) Beef and Egg Waffles Introduction & Inspiration These beef and egg waffles are scrumptious, offering a delightful crunch thanks to the coarse grind of the roast beef flour. Versatile in nature, they can be tailored to suit both slightly sweet and savoury palates. I hope you'll enjoy them! X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x Beef and Egg Waffles Main Ingredients: 75g Tallow 55ml Egg Yolks 65g Roast Beef 'Flour' - Coarse Flakes Lard or Tallow - for greasing Salt To Taste Recipe Instructions Pre heat the oven to 180c. Melt the tallow in a medium pan on low heat. Once the fat is fully melted, remove from the heat. Meanwhile place the egg yolks in a glass bowl. Pour the melted fat a little at a time into the egg yolks and fully incorporate using a spatula. Once you have incorporated all the fat, slowly add small amounts of the roast beef 'flour'. Use a spatula to coat all the 'flour' into the egg and fat mixture. Continue to mix until all the 'flour' has been incorporated. Grease the silicone waffle mould and place it in a baking tray. Divide the mixture equally between the two waffle moulds. Place the baking tray in the oven and cook for 14 minutes. Remove the beef and egg waffles from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before adding your choice of toppings (Any leftovers can be placed in an airtight container and stored in the fridge). Tips These waffles make for a very nutrient dense snack and can also be a great choice when you're out hiking or travelling. If you fancy a change from the waffle look, can also use the mixture to make mini galettes (check out the crunchy beef galettes or beef and liver versions for an idea on how they will look). The mixture will make 6 galettes. Follow the same steps as above. Just choose a different mould tray. Ideally, purchase your meat, fat and bones from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Be sure to use free range, organic eggs. Whether you can eat eggs may depend on your condition, medical history, the time you have been doing PKD and your health goals. If you're unsure, please consult with ICMNI in Hungary ( Home - Nutriintervention ).

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Pulled Pork - Ninja Bake Roast Option Introduction & Inspiration Pulled Pork in the Ninja Tendercrisp using the Bake/Roast option is a great way to cook pulled pork if you do not have a BBQ available or if this option is less appealing during the cold, winter months. The Bake/Roast setting creates a great bark on the outside of the meat, while the meat inside is super succulent and an be easily pulled apart with forks. Pulled pork is a great crowd pleaser and can work very well over the holiday period. I hope you will enjoy cooking this dish. Please let me know how it turned out for you. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 4 hours 30 Serving Size 3 - 4 Servings of Pulled Pork Main Ingredients: 1.250 kg Boneless Pork Shoulder Salt To Taste Glaze 1 - 2 Tsp Honey (Optional) or 1 -2 Tsp Tallow or Lard (Optional) 500ml Bone Broth Recipe Instructions Prior to Cooking Place the pork on a wooden chopping board. Sprinkle a little salt on all sides of the pork. Place the pork on a wire rack with a tray underneath and put it in the fridge. When You're ready to cook Add the bone broth to the base of your Ninja Tendercrisp bowl. This will help keep a nice humid cooking environment inside the Ninja Tendercrisp which helps with getting a succulent and juicy pork shoulder. (To Note: Add the cooking basket to the bowl. The base of the basket should be higher up than the bone broth so that the pork is not touching the liquid) Set the Ninja Tendercrisp to Bake/Roast setting and preheat at 120c for 5 minutes. Remove the pork from the fridge, insert a digital probe into the pork, positioning the tip right in the centre. This will allow you to monitor the internal temperature of the pork without opening the Ninja Tendercrisp. Close the Tendercrisp Lid and cook on Bake/Roast setting for 4 hours at this temperature. Open the lid of the Tendercrisp after the cooking time has ended and drizzle honey over the top and sides of the pork (Optional). You can also brush the top of the meat with lard or tallow instead of honey. Close the lid and cook for a further 15 minutes (or until tender - start checking around 100c - 105C internal temperature). If the pork is still not quite as tender as you would like it, leave it for a little longer. Remove the pork from the Ninja Tendercrisp machine and allow it to rest for 15 minutes on a wooden chopping board. You can cover it loosely with greaseproof paper and then foil. Separate the meat using your fingers, kitchen spatulas or as I like to do, using two forks. Taste the pork to see whether you may wish to add any additional seasoning. Spoon any cooking juices over the meat directly or make a pulled pork sauce with the juices. Enjoy your succulent and moist, juicy pulled pork! Bon Appetit! Tips Ideally remove the butcher's twine from around the pork prior to cooking. Juicy pulled pork served on home-made toasted 'bread' with some delicious pulled pork sauce made from the cooking juices always works really well. Insert a digital probe into the pork, positioning the tip right in the centre. This will allow you to monitor the internal temperature of the pork without opening the Tendercrisp machine. When the pork hits an internal temperature of about 77°C, collagens, which are part of the connective tissues, begin to melt and turn to gelatine. The meat gets much more tender and juicier when this happens. Allow the pork to continue cooking past 77°C. When the internal temperature of the pork reaches between 100c and 105C it's a good idea to check if the pork is ready. Use the method known as "stick a fork in it" to check if your pork shoulder is ready. Basically, insert a fork in the pork and try to rotate it 90 degrees. If it turns with very little pressure, you know it’s ready. The worst thing you can do is take the pork off too soon. Be sure to keep any flavourful juices and pour them over the meat, or you can make your own sauce with the cooking juices to accompany this succulent meat - see my Pulled Pork Sauce recipe. Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. Any honey should be of organic quality, and is only recommended in small amounts for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition. Use the Recipe Search functionality on the website to discover how to incorporate Pulled Pork into various dishes. Any ingredients listed as Optional, may or may not be appropriate if you are following Strict PKD with No Allowances.

It's ideal if you are wanting just a meat base. The pizza base is also egg free for those who may have sensitivities to eggs. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time Less than 30 minutes Serving Size 2 x 15cm Pizza Base (Pork and Beef Tripe) Main Ingredients: 80g Pressure Cooked Beef Tripe 75g Tallow (or Lard) 55ml Bone Broth 80g Pork Tenderloin Leftovers Salt To taste Recipe Instructions Preheat the oven to 160c. Melt the tallow in a medium pan with all the other ingredients. Once the tallow has melted, place all the ingredients into a blender. Blend the ingredients for 20-30 seconds, or until smooth. Place a greased silicone mat on a baking tray with 2 metal circles on top. Pour the ingredients from the blender into the two metal circles and spread evenly with a spatula. Place the baking tray in a preheated oven and cook for 25-30 minutes. Use the ‘browning’ option on your oven to brown the pizza base for 3-5 minutes (keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn). Remove the baking tray from the oven and allow the pizza bases to cool for several minutes on the countertop, and then place them in the fridge for a short while so that the bases become a little more sturdy. Now it’s time to decorate your pizzas with your desired toppings. Tips Check out my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipe for instructions on how to make this. Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives. 'Browning' Some functions of ovens enable you to brown the surface of the food by activating the grill once cooking is complete. When using the 'Browning' setting on your oven, monitor closely the pizza base so that it doesn't burn at the last minute! Video Not Available Yet....

Regime Type: Without Eggs, Strict PKD (No Allowances) Braised Beef Cheek - Slow Cooker Introduction & Inspiration Beef cheeks are in my mind a really under-appreciated beef cut. They're rich in gelatine and collagen since they are covered with tiny connective tissues. They lend themselves so well to a low and slow method of cooking, becoming very juicy and gelatinous in the process! I hope you will try this recipe out to experience first hand this incredibly delicious, melt in the mouth cut of beef. X Nic Recipe Overview Preparation Time Less than 30 minutes Cooking Time 13 hours Serving Size 3 Main Ingredients: 620g Beef Cheek Salt (for Brining) 250ml Bone Broth 2 tbsp Tallow or Lard or Pork Back Fat Sprig Thyme or Rosemary (Optional) Recipe Instructions Place the beef cheek in a glass bowl and add 2 cups of water as well as 2 tbsp of salt. Mix the salt into the water and then place the bowl in the fridge for several hours (5 or so). Remove the glass bowl from the fridge and discard the salt water. Pat the beef cheek dry with paper towels. Add an extra sprinkle of salt (optional) over the meat. In your slow cooker, set the option to ‘Sear’ and melt the fat. Once the fat is hot, place the beef cheek into the slow cooker and sear all the sides of the meat. Use kitchen tongs to turn the beef cheek over until all the sides of the meat have a little colour. Switch off the ‘Sear’ option. Add one cup of bone broth to the slow cooker and any herbs (optional). Add the lid on to the slow cooker, set the valve on the lid to ‘Vent’ and then set to Low on the slow cooker and cook for 13 hours. Once the beef cheek is done, remove it from the slow cooker onto a wooden chopping board (tented with a little aluminium foil) and allow the meat to rest. Strain the beef cheek cooking liquid into a smaller pan over a low-medium heat. Stir from time to time while the sauce reduces and thickens slightly. To serve, slice the beef cheek on a cutting board and then place on serving plates and glaze the beef with the sauce. Tips You will know when the meat is cooked as you should be able to easily slice through it with a spoon. Try serving the beef cheek on a bed of mash. Check out my Creamy Tripe Mash recipe for instructions on how to make this. Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives.

Organ Meat Fundamentals Organ meats are sometimes referred to as ''offal''. They are the organs of animals that humans prepare and use as food. Organ meats traditionally were once a cherished and prized food in our diets. However nowadays, the longstanding tradition of eating organ meats has somewhat fallen by the wayside in many countries, with many young people not having ever eaten these parts of an animal. Yet, have you ever wondered what the most nutrient dense foods on the planet are? Well, they're organ meats of course! Organ meats are nature’s most concentrated source of virtually every important vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and fat. These nutrients make organ meats the ideal addition to modern diets of more conventional animal products. Liver, heart, and kidney may be the most valuable, but all are helpful for certain things. So go ahead, try out some organ meats 😉 X Nic The Most Common Types of Organ Meat Some of the most common types of organ meat include: Liver Liver is the detox organ and is deemed the nutritional powerhouse of organ meats due to its nutrient density. Tongue Tongue is more of a muscle and tastes very tender as it’s quite fatty. Heart The heart is a very lean and tasty meat. Kidneys Kidneys have an earthy, gamey flavour. Brain Brain is prized in many cultures around the world as it’s a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. Sweetbreads Despite a misleading name, sweetbreads are made from the thymus gland and pancreas. Tripe Tripe is the lining of animal stomach. Most tripe is from cattle. It can have a very chewy texture. Oxtail Oxtail is the culinary name for the tail of an ox. It tastes so delicious that it even got named “the food of the gods". Bone Broth So technically not at organ meat, however I wanted to highlight Bone Broth (which is the process of simmering animal bones to create broth) due to its very beneficial properties.
