Welcome to /omg/ in here we discuss recipes and prep for organ meat dishes, and share insight for those who are yet to become offalchads.

My personal favourite is calf liver and onions.

>1-pound piece calf's liver
3/4 pound onions, sliced paper-thin
>4 tablespoons unsalted butter or extra-virgin olive oil (or a combination)
>1/3 cup water
>1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Rinse liver to remove any traces of blood and discard membrane and any tough veins. Cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
Cook onions in 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, 1 minute. Cover skillet and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm, covered.
Pat half of liver slices dry and toss with salt and pepper to taste. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté seasoned liver, shaking skillet and turning liver, until browned on both sides but still pink inside, about 2 minutes. Put cooked liver on top of onions and cover.
Add water to skillet and deglaze, scraping up brown bits and boiling until liquid is slightly reduced. Pour sauce over cooked liver and wipe skillet clean. Sauté remaining liver as above, then add rest of liver with onions and parsley, tossing briefly.

This is raw beef liver biltong dried at 35 Celcius in a dehydrator for 24 hours. I used to pan fry liver in onions, but then that would destroy the enzymes and vitamins. Now I only eat it raw, but not slimy raw, that'd make me gag. It has to be marinaded in salt, coriander, and vinegar (mainly to kill bacteria) and before that frozen at -22 Celcius for a week to kill parasites, and then turned into a beef jerky. The result is totally worth all that work.

I fucking love organ meat, I always order tripe at Chinese hotpot places and there was this one small pakistani hole-in-the-wall place where I used to live that did bomb (no pun intended) offal curry like pic rel. It was mixed offal with tripe, liver, kidney, some other mystery organs idek but I miss it a lot.

Jane grigson is goat

I make liver into patte mainly
Hearts yakitori style and small intestine grilled Burmese style
Large intestine I use mainly procedurally to marinade minces, proceed as you would for a fresh sausage then simply take out the filling. Best burgers ever, smoke or use the stomach lining French style.
Kidney I struggle to use well

When I was a kid we usually had chicken hearts in chicken soup but I feel like grilling them in that rub might be one of the best methods for someone who wants to try organs for the first time.

Chicken organs are already milder than pork or beef and the heart is probably the cleanest tasting organ. It's basically just a muscle (although some enon pointed out that the cells are different than normal meat) but it's still much closer to normal meat than something like liver.

I had them grilled for the first time in some small hole in the wall Chinese place and that night I also ordered sheep testicles by mistake.
I don't know if they count as offal, but they were one of the few things I am unable to eat, although it might just be psychological.

In Poland there is a popular dish called "flaczki". It literally translates to "intestines" but it's actually cow stomach soup.
I really like it, for European standards it's usually quite spicy and the stomach has a very interesting texture. It's soft, but also kind of "ribbed" it's almost tickling your tongue.
If you have a Polish shop nearby there might be ready made soups in a glass jar if you want to try it.

BEEF TONGUE

besides making tacos, anyone have anything special they like to do with it? I'm planning on simmering it whole in water with some dried chiles and onion and spices, peeling, slicing, and cooking the slices on a real real hot pan so they caramelize. Did it once before and it was amazing. Only trouble I'm having is deciding on what to serve them on and what sort of sauce.
Torn between something lighter and acid to balance the fat of the tongue (like greens and a salsa verde), or going real rich and heavy (polenta and rich brown/wine sauce).

thoughts?

It's very straightforward, unfortunately all the videos on youtube are in gutterspeak. This one's ok.

Some people blanch the offal first, some people even rinse it of all the myoglobin, savages, but essentially fry onions, garlic, and spices then add meat and herbs. Make it watery, use some tomato, all to preference. Like I said before it's a lot like bolognese except it starts with a sofrito instead of mirepoix.

Maybe add some extra savoriness with anchovies/fish sauce/worchestershire or change up the chilies.

I'm thinking you could slice it real thin, sautee with Worcestershire and soy sauce, add mushroom and onon and throw it on a sub roll. Add flour and black pepper to the pan drippings and sauce and have a nice hot open-face sandwich.
