So most people moan and scream like a zombie and act like an ass instead of having the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful creamy cut. Here I will show a recipe for brains, so order your brain fork which any self respecting offal eater should own one of these. Turn on your favorite zombie flick and get ready to eat some delicious brains.

The calves brain has been poached very gently in a traditional court boullion for about 5 minutes. then the membrane is removed and its ready to be taken to the next step towards a finished dish.

Delicious pig parts http://www.offalgood.com/site/blog/recipes/delicious-pig-parts http://www.offalgood.com/site/blog/recipes/delicious-pig-parts#comments Mon, 03 Sep 2007 05:43:37 +0000 Chris http://www.offalgood.com/?p=131 pig head chris

To me every part of a pig is absolutely delicious. This head and some bits were dropped off to me on Friday. They came from a duroc hog from biagio a Sonoma meat co-op run by Michael. These parts were put to use quickly for a new dish for the menu Saturday.

pork offal

Raw pork heart, liver and kidneys from 1 animal, before they are cleaned and trimmed for use.

marinated pork offal.

These meats have been trimmed and cleaned of ventricles, membranes and fatty tissues before they were diced and marinated overnight, in a mixture of juniper, allepo chili, thyme, bay leaves, black pepper, and a splash of red wine.
offal cooking on a hot stone

Using a hot stone from Le Sanctuaire , I cooked the pork bits with red onions until they were medium rare. The hot stone cooks like a plancha and caramelizes great without any added fat. Cooking on the stone has a primeval feel to it, as well a it adds a great charred flavor to the meats.

I have tossed the meats in a bowl with rucola, mint and zinfandel vinegar,with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. And of course I seasoned it with salt and pepper.

You want Fries with that? http://www.offalgood.com/site/blog/recipes/you-want-fries-with-that http://www.offalgood.com/site/blog/recipes/you-want-fries-with-that#comments Thu, 17 May 2007 04:40:10 +0000 Chris http://www.offalgood.com/?p=95 Ever since I put fries on the menu, we get alot of guests that think they are French fries cooked in duck fat. Boy are they surprised when the server tells them they are duck testicles. After the initial shock a growing number of guests are ordering them, and really enjoying them.
duck fries in the bag

So lets start with the term “fries” also know as “prairie oysters”, “mountain oysters” and “swinging meat” they are all the same, it just depends on which animal. The idea of serving everything an animal has to offer is a big thing, but this is probably the hardest one to get folks to tuck into. The difference between duck fries and other animal fries is that the duck testicles are an internal not an external organ, they are also know as white kidneys. Duck fries are the newest menu item at Incanto rigtht now and here is a recipe.

Duck Fries with bacon and peas
serves 4
1 lb duck fries
4 strips sliced bacon
1/2 cup fresh shelled peas
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup chicken stock
fresh sorrel

Rinse the duck fries and remove the excess membranes, set on a towel and pat dry. Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Put the bacon in a cold saute pan and bring it to medium heat to render out some fat. Remove the bacon once it has some color and turn the heat up. Add the duck fries and saute until golden brown on both sides, add
the bacon then the butter and fresh peas. Deglaze the pan with a splash of lemon juice, then add chicken stock and let reduce until the sauce emulsifies. Season with salt and pepper, and serve on four warm plates. Finish with a large chiffonade of fresh sorrel, then serve.

Let them eat pigs head!! http://www.offalgood.com/site/blog/recipes/let-them-eat-pigs-head http://www.offalgood.com/site/blog/recipes/let-them-eat-pigs-head#comments Wed, 20 Dec 2006 08:12:06 +0000 Chris http://www.offalgood.com/?p=51 Let them eat cake, what the hell did marie antoinette know, they cut off her head. My thought is let them eat pigs head in as many ways as possible. Just recently I was trying to put some new cooked meats on the antipasto platter and came up with this one.

Its royal name is: Porchetta Di Testa - Translation a pigs head that is boned out then marinated for 2 days with rosemary and garlic rolled and tied then braised for 14 hours in a sous vide bag at 200 degrees to keep it all together.

Here is a photo journal of the process.

whole pig head

Start with one square cut berkshire pigs head.


split pigs head

Debone the head from the chin and work your way around the jaw up into the rest of the head until the meat is free, dont make any extra holes.
pigs skull with skin next to it

Once the skull is removed split the skull with a saw to save the brains and have a proper butchers treat of brains and egg, then roast the skull for stock.

whole head no bones

As you can see once the skull is removed there is alot of meat to work with.

marinated pigs head

Then season both sides of the pigs head with salt, black pepper, garlic, rosemary with chili flakes and lemon zest. let it marinate for 2 days in the fridge then roll it up and tie it tight. Place it in a sous vide bag with some herbs and garlic and cook. Remove form the water and drop it in a ice bath and let it set for 2 days.

This is after it has cooled in the ice bath and let to set in the fridge for 2 days before cutting.

pigs head cooked out of sousvide bag

Remove all the gelatinous stock and fat from the pigs head in the bag, then remove the string and herbs that have attached to the meat..

split pigs head cooked

This is now ready to be slice on the meat slicer and serve.

Whole Fish http://www.offalgood.com/site/blog/recipes/whole-fish http://www.offalgood.com/site/blog/recipes/whole-fish#comments Wed, 12 Jul 2006 17:22:56 +0000 Chris http://www.offalgood.com/?p=44 Just today in the San Francisco Chronicle in their new feature called “Chef’s Night In” I give a recipe for cooking whole fish and talk about why its better to cook fish on the bone. I know it dosent talk about offal but it goes back to the whole animal idea of not being afraid of your food. There is also a podcast (direct link to audio) where I talk about offalgood, eating innards and why whole animal eating is sustainable.

Delicious Tripe!!! http://www.offalgood.com/site/blog/recipes/delicious-tripe http://www.offalgood.com/site/blog/recipes/delicious-tripe#comments Fri, 30 Jun 2006 04:58:35 +0000 Chris http://www.offalgood.com/?p=39 What else can I say, it’s tasty stuff. But I can tell you when I was a kid I can remember smelling my great grandmother Rosalie cooking tripe and my brother and I running away in fear. How ironic is it that one of my big goals is to get more people to eat offal, especially tripe since it is higher in protein and lower in fat then a T-Bone steak.
I have included a recipe from Tuscany for a cold tripe salad. This one is great, the tripe gets shaved thin like ribbons and dressed in a lemon garlic vinaigrette.

Shaved Marinated Tripe Salad with New Potatoes and Parsley

Ingredients:

2 lbs. Honeycomb beef tripe (preferably unbleached, organic, if available)

Working with the staff there to get this article published was alot of fun. Take a look at the article and see what you think. It has 4 recipes each with a different organ meat, and even a dessert using pork blood.

Recipe for Beef Heart http://www.offalgood.com/site/blog/recipes/recipe-for-beef-heart http://www.offalgood.com/site/blog/recipes/recipe-for-beef-heart#comments Thu, 22 Jun 2006 05:51:55 +0000 Chris http://www.offalgood.com/?p=8 beef heartBy taking this forgoten muscle and giving it a little love you can have a great range of dishes, here is just one of the many I serve at Incanto.The combination of beets and horseradish is a classic. It is the balance of sweet and spicy that works so well. When combined with the grilled heart, this classic pairing is elevated by the richness and intensity of the meat.

Grilled Beef Heart with roasted golden beets & Horseradish
Serves 4 as entr�e
Serves 8 as appetizer

Marinade
3 cloves garlic, skin on
12 sprigs of fresh thyme
1.5 cups white wine
1 cup orange juice
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 beef heart, trimmed of sinew and gristle and cut into 3 x 3-inch pieces
Kosher Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Roasted Golden Beets
Horseradish Vinaigrette
1 cup fresh chives cut into 1-inch batons
1 cup fresh parsley leaves
Fresh horseradish, for garnish

1. In a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic and thyme.
2. In a bowl, mix them with the wine, juice, and a splash of oil; let the flavors blend for 1 hour at room temperature before use.
3. Pour marinade over pieces of beef heart and marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator. Remove hearts and discard the marinade.
4. Preheat the grill or grill pan. Cooking over high heat is the key to proper carmelization which adds flavor and ensures proper grill marks.
5. Season the hearts with salt and pepper. Grill the hearts to medium-rare, about 3 minutes on each side depending on thickness.
6. For the salad, cut the beets into different shapes, such as rounds and quarters and place in a mixing bowl. Season the beets with salt and pepper and the horseradish vinaigrette. At the last minute add the chives and parsley and gently toss.
7. To serve, divide the salad among 8 warm salad plates or place on a large serving platter. Thinly slice the beef heart pieces against the grain and serve them warm over the salad. Garnish with grated horseradish and a drizzle of olive oil.

ROASTED GOLDEN BEETS
3 bunches baby golden beets, trimmed and washed
1 bunch thyme
1 bunch young and tender flat-leaf Italian parsley, leaves picked and washed
1 bunch chives
Splash extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
Kosher Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup water
2 heads garlic, split in half lengthwise
1 cup orange juice

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Place beets, thyme, split garlic heads and parsley stems in a non-reactive roasting pan. Then add orange juice, water, and a splash of olive oil, stirring to coat the beets evenly. Season the beets with fennel, salt, and pepper.
3. Cover the pan with aluminum and roast until the beets are tender, about 45 minutes. As if testing a cake, insert a knife into a beet. If it slides in and out easily, they�re done. Uncover and allow the beets to cool to room temperature. To remove the skins, take an old dish towel and rub the skins off gently, to keep the shape of the beets.

4. After they are peeled, store them in a airtight container in the refrigerator. They should last about a week. Don�t slice the beets until right before you need them; that will help keep them fresh, by not allowing them to be overexposed to oxygen.

Horseradish Vinaigrette
Makes about 2 cups
1/4 cup Champagne vinegar
1/4 cup finely grated fresh horseradish
2 tablespoons orange juice
Kosher Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cups pure olive oil
1/4  cup extra-virgin olive oil

1. In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, horseradish, orange juice salt.
2. Pour in pure olive oil while whisking to emulsify the vinaigrette.
3. Finish by adding the extra-virgin olive oil to the dressing. This will add a bit more fruit to the dressing and round out the heat from the horseradish. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4. Making a little extra is OK. Store the vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and it will last about a week, but it will definitely lose some of its punch.
