Eating offal is a topic that’s been immensely in style the final yr or so within the well being and wellness neighborhood, and for good purpose! Organ meats are probably the most nutrient dense meals on the planet, beating out plant-primarily based “superfoods” in nearly each metric.
Due to this rising pattern, a number of good mates have requested me to provide you with low carb recipes that assist them extra simply incorporate organs meat into their keto life-style. While I’m personally within the camp that has a little bit of a psychological block towards consuming offal, I made a decision to broaden my Ketogenic palate and take the problem.
Y’all know I like me some Louisiana-style cooking, and Dirty Rice was the primary recipe thought I had that matches the organ meat invoice. While I often attempt to keep true to the variations between Creole and Cajun cooking, I made a decision to take some liberties right here and make this my very own with issues I had readily available.
Dirty Rice usually accommodates a measure of rooster giblets, however I made a decision to make use of floor up rooster coronary heart as an alternative. I additionally threw in a little bit of a flowery, spicy twist and used a pound of bison chorizo I picked up from US Wellness Meats. And, with many apologies to my Creole mates, I used a bottled Cajun seasoning. For authenticity’s sake, you would simply change out these elements for extra conventional ones, whereas retaining the strategy, nevertheless it positive is tasty this fashion!
The finish outcome was a delightfully spicy one-dish meal that my whole household ate with out ever suspecting the organ meat shock. That’s dietary successful, y’all.
