These currywurst style chicken hearts taste delicious and are easy to prepare, too. They need some passive cooking time but become nicely tender this way. In addition, the recipe also works with nearly any type of sausage.
In the meantime, heat up a pan with your preferred fat for frying to medium heat
When the pan is hot, add the chicken hearts to the pan and the curry powder on top
Wait for about 30 seconds, then stir everything. Next, fry the chicken hearts for 3-5 minutes while stirring, until they become slightly crispy and brown
Now, add the butter. When it is melted, also add the tomato paste, all other seasonings & the water and stir until everything is mixed
Finally, set the plate to low heat and let everything cook for about 45 minutes while stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced to a sauce
This low carb semolina pudding is very simple to cook within only 10 minutes. It's a delicious dessert and can be served hot as porridge or cold as pudding. In addition, you can modify the recipe easily according to your taste.
First, add the butter and cream cheese to a pot and set the plate to low-medium heat
Let the butter melt while stirring with an eggbeater about every 20 seconds, until it is mixed with the cream cheese
Then, add the cream and mix again. After that, add ground almonds, cinnamon and your optional ingredients like cacao, sweetener or vanilla extract
Finally, let everything cook for 3-5 minutes to get a thicker consistency. Stir constantly or about every 10 seconds to prevent the mixture from scorching/burning
Recipe Notes
If you want this dessert to have a consistency more like porridge serve it hot or don't let it thicken that much when cooking.
Otherwise, let it cool down and put it in the fridge the consistency becomes more similar to pudding.
Pro tip:
In case you like to add some fruits, I'd recommend adding them when the pudding is done already.
Red berry compote goes great with it and you can easily prepare it by heating up frozen berries in a pot, adding some water & gelatin and boiling it until it thickens. Then, let it cool down. Holds in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
You may also try out one of the other optional ingredients, a combination of them or leaving out the cinnamon. I only sprinkled some cacao powder on top here and mixed it in with the spoon afterwards.
This easy kidney recipe with calf's kidney makes a delicious and nutrient dense meal. It is very satiating and perfectly suited for low carb diets. In addition, kidneys have a great offering of folate, iron, zinc, copper & selenium and are also a great source of protein for a post-workout meal.
First, cut the kidneys in half and remove the gristly white centers (the fat) carefully
It is best to use a paring knife for this. Remove as much of it as possible and keep it if you want to make tallow - more details in the recipe notes
After that, cut the kidney meat into bite sized pieces and put them into a strainer. When finished, thoroughly rinse them with cold water for a few minutes
Now, add the salt to a big bowl, add some water and stir until the salt is dissolved. Then, add the kidney pieces and so much cold water that they are completely covered
Cover the bowl with cling film / plastic wrap, put it into the fridge and let the kidneys soak in water for at least 2 hours. After that, take the pieces out of the water, into a clean strainer and rinse them with fresh water again. Afterwards, let them drip off excess water for a minute
Melt the butter in a pan on low heat, add the kidney pieces and cook them for about 7 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Then, put them to the side (e.g. into a soup plate) in order to make the sauce in the pan
Sauce - Final Steps
After cooking the kidney pieces, leave any remaining liquid in the pan and add the extra butter. Then, add the sliced onions and let them cook for about 5 minutes
Next, add the cream & cream cheese to the pan and stir until it is dissolved. Cook for about 10 minutes on low heat, until the sauce starts to thicken. Now is the time to taste the sauce and add salt & pepper to your preferences
Finally, add the kidney pieces back to the pan and let them simmer in the sauce for another 3 minutes on low heat. Don't cook too long or on higher heat as the kidney tends to become chewy then
Recipe Notes
If you want to render the kidney fat cut it into small bits or mince it in a food processor.
Then, put it into a pot or big pan on low heat and wait for all the fat to get out while stirring occasionally.
You can see that it's done when there is clear fat on the bottom with crispy bits on top.
Now, you can remove these floating bits by pouring all content through a cheesecloth or fabric into another pot.
When the fat is cooled, pour it into mason jars and keep them in the fridge.
