Actually cooking organ meats week after week
I’ve cooked organ meats enough to have made plenty of mistakes, but also to find their sweet spots and to know some of them pretty well. Alas, this recipe for Grilled Beef Heart is a gem, turning the simplest salad into something special and truly nourishing. And special thanks to Lara for opening her heart, asking about heart, and inspiring this post….
Sumac, thyme and grated lim zest base for marinade
After three snowfalls in April, it looks like grilling season has finally arrived here in Chicago. This recipe for kidney kebabs can be made with other organs as well. The marinade/sauce is delightful if you like sour – sumac and lime!
Kidneys get a bad rap, but they really shouldn’t. Well, it does have an offal flavor to it. And I once heard Brad Farmerie mention that no one wants to order it in his restaurant.
And yes, it can have a strong odor when cooking. Alas, a perfect candidate for the grill! …
