CourseMain Dish
CuisineLow Carb High Fat
Keywordbeef, cream, cream cheese, heavy cream, one pan meal, organ meat

Servings3 people

Prep Time20 minutes

Cook Time25 minutes

Passive Time2 hours

Ingredients

Kidneys

600gram calf kidney2 pieces
30gram butter
0.5tablespoons Salt
water

Sauce

20gram butter
2 onionssliced, half rings
250gram cream
75gram cream cheese
Salt
Pepper

Instructions

Kidneys

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.

Avocado Omelette – With Spinach & Cream

KetoKookin' — Wed, 18 Jul 2018 13:32:19 +0000

Avocado Omelette - With Spinach & Cream

This avocado omelette with spinach & cream is very saturating. It is stuffed with healthy fats and nutrients, easily prepared within 30 minutes. In addition, this is an awesome breakfast and a good dish for preparing in advance and having it for lunch at work.

CourseBreakfast, Main Dish
Keywordavocado, cream, eggs, omelette, oven baked, pan fried, spinach

Servings2 people

Prep Time5 minutes

Cook Time30 minutes

Ingredients

30gram coconut oil
1 onionssliced, half rings
1 avocadosliced
400gram spinachcooked
100gram creamheavy
7 eggs

Seasonings

Instructions

First, melt the coconut oil in an oven-suitable pan at low-medium heat on the hob and preheat your oven to 170°C
Fry onion in coconut oil for about 5 minutes, until golden brown
Next, add avocado to the pan and fry for just about 2-3 minutes while stiring
Then, add the spinach and also stir-fry it for 2-3 minutes
Pour the cream into the pan, add all seasonings and mix everything
Now, drop the eggs on top, stir everything for 1 minute and finally, put the pan into the oven for 15-20 minutes, until everything is solid

Recipe Notes

You can check if the omelette is done by poking into it with a chopstick.
If you pull out the chopstick and it is clean your omelette is done. If there are moist residues from the eggs on the chopstick the omelette needs a few more minutes.

I used frozen spinach that I thawed in the microwave before adding it to the pan.
If you use fresh spinach you don't necessarily need to precook it, but give it a few more minutes of frying in the pan.

I like to eat this dish with some cream cheese on the side.

You may also add shredded cheese on top right before you put the pan into the oven.

Asparagus Cream Sauce

This asparagus cream sauce is a clever way to reuse the stringy parts from your recently cooked green asparagus. Works with the skin of white asparagus as well. Stop wasting the nutritious asparagus leftovers, because most of the healthy stuff is directly under the skin.

CourseSauce, Side Dish
Keywordasparagus, butter, cream, heavy cream

Prep Time1 minute

Cook Time20 minutes

Ingredients

50gram lard
75gram green asparagusstringy parts - leftovers from cutting / skin from white asparagus
15gram butter
300milliliter water
250gram cream

Seasonings

Instructions

Preheat a pan with the lard to medium heat and add the asparagus parts. Let them fry for about 5 minutes before adding the butter
Now, add the water and cook everything for another 5-10 minutes
Take out the asparagus parts with a slotted ladle and add the cream plus seasonings
Finally, let everything simmer for 5-10 more minutes while stiring occasionally, until it is reduced to a sauce with your desired thickness

Recipe Notes

This sauce goes very well with the chicken heart tuna meatballs which I made simultaneously.

Of course, you could also simply use it to go with your asparagus or other types of vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower or mushrooms.
